Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Learner choices

Goal/codes: Compare a supplied prior prediction/result and ask a safe next question, bounded to fiction. Partial/conditional opportunities: AC9SFI01 / AC9SFI03 / AC9SFI04 / AC9SFI05 (record reasoning only).

Prepare: Held AJ/exact description; key/examples closed before first response. Local preflight/access required; all physical actions adult-owned/approved.

  1. Settle · 3 min. “Here is a new invented notebook. You can choose how to answer.” Read one short chunk, allow sign/AAC/drawing/director/scribe and quiet time.
  2. Meet the case · 4 min. Read exact AJ source and prompts without selecting answers. It reports a trial in fiction; no actual physical child trial supplied.
  3. First response · 7 min. Capture initial source interpretation, comparison and own safe next question/support. Split into later short components if needed; no timed finish or preferred next question.
  4. Confirm · 5 min. Read back exact response for agreement. Preserve first and revised words separately; then open key.
  5. Teach afterwards · 4 min. Use prior practice ROOF-NOTE-33 or a new actual approved try for the identified next move. Keep AK held.
  6. Keep · 2 min. Save limited source reasoning; REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE for direct trial claims from the paper case.

If not observed: keep the child’s question and access/contribution truthful. Offer a smaller welcomed route or later opportunity; pass/unavailable is not “cannot do.” Model/report can support reasoning, not invented direct sensory observation.
