Practice examples, not model answers to copy. Two per day show meaning/role/place/action and truthful actual boundary. Children may invent another, keep a favourite clue or pass. Dramatic play is central, not an evidence worksheet. Four check-day models stay until AFTER first check capture only. No model supplies real performer/audience testimony.

Day Domain 1 — meaning / role / clue / actual boundary Domain 2 — meaning / role / clue / actual boundary
41 A blank card becomes an imagined map. An explorer at an invented hill points above it. Child invents/actually gestures if wanted; card stays flat, no real route/tool use. A cloth becomes an imagined meadow. A field watcher looks towards it and pauses. Actual child-devised drawing is artwork; depicted role action UNENACTED.
42 A card is a pretend painting. A visitor at an invented gallery opens a palm towards it. Child intention: invite looking, not measured audience understanding. An empty tabletop box becomes a pretend moon rock. A space watcher leans their attention towards it without lifting/wearing/climbing/filling it. Adult can enact exact child direction; no child enactment inferred.
43 A card-map scene belongs to an imagined hill, with one point above the stable prop. It is fiction, not travel or local geography knowledge. A cloth-meadow scene belongs to an invented small garden. Child directs an adult-drawn role/action clue; actual artifact is child-authored with support, not performance.
44 I hear the saved dramatic text’s map/painting proposals, notice one card can mean different things, and devise a pretend letter with a reader role/action. No real message/private data used. I dislike the source’s gallery idea and choose a card as a pretend island with a lookout gesture. The source purpose is bounded classroom imagination; no human/community performer invented.
45 AFTER first check capture only: the cloth becomes a pretend path. A traveller in an imagined meadow points ahead from the table; source/action own choices, no actual safe route. AFTER first check capture only: child keeps a source-like imagined object but chooses their own role/place/pause clue. Actual agreed drawing recorded; no requirement for a different physical shape or emotion.
46 The same card changes from imagined map to pretend painting; explorer point becomes visitor open-palm gesture. Actual versions if played/drawn, not magical material transformation. Child keeps the card as an imagined map but chooses a pause instead of a point. Keeping meaning is a child decision, not failure to change; no neat sequence to copy.
47 A silent open-palm clue invites looking at an imagined painting. Child can enact one gesture or direct adult; not required to speak in role. An optional comfortable word names a pretend moon rock while gaze settles on a tabletop box. Record actual word/gesture only if it occurs; don’t diagnose a feeling from it.
48 Explorer pauses at a pretend map with no path, then chooses to look elsewhere in fiction. Tiny own next action, no travel, real problem or exact number of moves. Visitor keeps looking at an imagined painting and waits. Child’s unchanged pause is a complete next choice; a saved plan is not actual improvisation.
49 Child chooses the actual silent map moment to keep privately. If no earlier actual sample, create a labelled new version; no before/after growth claim. If a willing viewer actually says the open palm made them notice a pretend painting, child may keep/refine the clue. This is conditional until real agreement/response; never fill with sample testimony.
50 AFTER first check capture only: card becomes a pretend lighthouse; a lookout at an invented shore points above it. Actual adult enactment follows child direction; no real equipment/safe-route use. AFTER first check capture only: child develops an own source-like doorway idea with a waiting role/gesture, drawn on paper. No stepping through prop, required different arrangement, actual voice or audience assumed.

Change invented world while preserving own role/action purpose. Ordinary prop, imagined object and actual script/drawing/enactment are different. Adult-directed artifact retains child authorship; physical adult action remains explicit. No correct colour/feeling/arrangement/count/pattern, real equipment, compulsory costume or public show. Intention and a real willing viewer’s reading are separate.
