Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. Week 33 turns carefully described features of two fictional drawings into a short information page. Week 34 compares two explanations of a fictional paper-roof test and asks what the evidence can actually support. A school can substitute safe, first-hand local observations, but the pack never labels its drawings as local species or its fictional test as a result in your room.
Start with the ten timed 25-minute lessons, original adult-read sources, thirty learner choices and twenty worked supplementary swaps. The two fresh teacher-held checks have a separate response key. Five original A4 SVG/PDF aids are ready: drawn plant observation cards, information-page maker, paper-roof test record, two explanation cards, and claim/evidence/question mat. Exact linear text, tactile and adult-directed alternatives mean a screen, printer, sound, small-object handling and outdoor excursion are optional.
Run it in five minutes: Read that day's source first. Lay out two broad observation cards or the paper roof source, one thick pen and the appropriate A4 mat. Give the child a choice of a quiet point, sign, AAC, speech, drawing, large-print writing or child-directed adult scribing. If a real school observation is used, check site/child safety and observe from an approved place without picking, touching, identifying a species or collecting personal data. Record what was actually seen. Child print is only shown at the individually taught grapheme–sound point; adult reads every rich source word. Save first independent answers, prompts and revisions separately.
Curriculum: The crosswalk checks exact Australian Curriculum v9 Foundation wording against a pinned official ACARA workbook. QCAA ACiQ v9 English is the Queensland Prep entry point. These are proposed partial links, not full subject/year coverage or approval in any state. The source and rights ledger and desk review state the evidence and remaining human/local work.
