Each is an original fictional design record with its full written first/selected facts. No rendered art, physical child work, human maker account, actual recipient or real response is supplied. FIRST and SELECTED refer to written model possibilities, never actual learner history. The solved comparison names only supplied differences and the proposed purpose; it cannot establish practical effectiveness.
Use one after an own first contribution if helpful, then invite an unrelated own try. Another selection, one wanted part, different form or private keeping can be valid. Do not copy model decisions or helper operations into a child's record. All models have actual recipient/response NONE. These ordinary contexts disclose no selected first/later case themes.
C01 · A drawing-kit home
Domain and intended job: An invented paper studio; help a pretend user find the pictured marker's place.
Full first written design:
- one broad drawn marker beside an empty outlined tray.
- the same marker inside that tray.
Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:
- the same two drawings, with the second on its own broad region and extra empty space around the tray.
Worked comparison: The selected relation still goes from beside to inside; the change is spacing around the second tray, not a real tidy-up or observed clarity.
Ownership and operation: Fictional maker selects the relation and spacing; a willing adult draws those chosen forms. Adult chooses the marker's decorative stripe, which is adult detail, not an unspoken child direction.
Evidence boundary: Supplied written fiction only. Actual learner making, tool operation, source encounter, recipient and response are not supplied. No invented reply is treated as real.
Own try / next teaching: Choose an own place relation for an unrelated pictured object. Start with one own choice, then fabricate only accepted directions. Another idea, unmade plan, no words, keep/private/rest/pass remains available.
C02 · A pretend library return
Domain and intended job: Books and community play; show an invented picture book going to its pretend home.
Full first written design:
- a drawn closed book above a broad drawn shelf.
- the same book beside the shelf.
Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:
- the same book above the shelf.
- the book on the shelf.
Worked comparison: Only the second book position changes. The maker prefers 'on' for this invented message; no real library rule, handling or audience response follows.
Ownership and operation: Fictional child draws both books and chooses the second position; adult holds paper steady only at request.
Evidence boundary: Supplied written fiction only. Actual learner making, tool operation, source encounter, recipient and response are not supplied. No invented reply is treated as real.
Own try / next teaching: If position was adult supplied, offer an actual broad own place choice. Start with one own choice, then fabricate only accepted directions. Another idea, unmade plan, no words, keep/private/rest/pass remains available.
C03 · An invitation to a shape game

Worked comparison: The selected second region adds the chosen phrase; triangle count and placement do not change. No actual game, turn or independent writing is supplied.
Ownership and operation: Fictional child selects/draws triangles and chooses words; adult scribes only the requested phrase.
Evidence boundary: Supplied written fiction only. Actual learner making, tool operation, source encounter, recipient and response are not supplied. No invented reply is treated as real.
Own try / next teaching: Offer picture-only or exact own words without assuming text is better. Start with one own choice, then fabricate only accepted directions. Another idea, unmade plan, no words, keep/private/rest/pass remains available.
C04 · A seed-packet picture story
Domain and intended job: Garden imagining; tell a pretend story about a pictured seed becoming an impossible tower.

Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:
- the oval at the bottom.
- the oval below two tall rectangles with a gap.
Worked comparison: The second written design has two rectangles instead of one. This is an invented transformation, not a seed species, growth timetable or Science observation.
Ownership and operation: Fictional maker directs the gap and two rectangles; adult draws them and does not claim child handling.
Evidence boundary: Supplied written fiction only. Actual learner making, tool operation, source encounter, recipient and response are not supplied. No invented reply is treated as real.
Own try / next teaching: Let the child invent a different transformation and name fiction. Start with one own choice, then fabricate only accepted directions. Another idea, unmade plan, no words, keep/private/rest/pass remains available.
C05 · A quiet-picture nook
Domain and intended job: Rest and personal keeping; make a private page the maker wants to look at.
Full first written design:
- three broad circles clustered in the middle.
Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:

- the same oval under that line.
Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:

- an empty broad region beside it.
Full selected written design, referring only to the complete first facts above:
