Goal/codes: Represent one or more actual observations and identify a small pattern only if comparable rows exist. Partial/conditional opportunities: AC9SFI02 / AC9SFI03 / AC9SFI04 / AC9SFI05.
Prepare: Shared actual rows or ROOF-NOTE-33 clearly labelled fiction; shared-try aid. Local preflight/access required; all physical actions adult-owned/approved.
- Start from real rows · 3 min. “What did our group actually notice?” One row is useful; it does not show a repeated pattern. Don’t run extra tries only to fill a target number.
- Associate the records · 4 min. Adult/child points to form/source/before/after for each row. Child draws/directs one provided template mark/word; shared adult scribing attributed.
- Look again if useful · 7 min. Only if a child’s question needs it and locally safe, make another agreed prediction/try. No record replacement if it differs or stops.
- Notice with guidance · 5 min. If two or more genuinely comparable rows exist, ask “Was anything alike in these tries?” Include a contrary/unclear row. A small pattern stays local, never all paper/creased forms.
- Choose what to tell · 4 min. Child shares one observation/pattern/unknown. In model route, say the notebook reports it; no real experiment or direct sensory evidence assumed.
- Keep · 2 min. Keep the small shared record and relevant individual response. No neat repeat sequence, exact counts or full logs from every child.
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.
