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: Reason from a new fictional source: compare prior idea/stages and choose an open next question; source-based SFI04/01/03 opportunities, not physical SFI02 evidence.

Prepare: Hold AL and key until first response. No NOTE rehearsal of AL details; teacher reads neutral exact source.

  1. Open · 3 min. “Here is a new invented notebook. What does it tell you?” Introduce only held AL; source/picture access can be read/described without hints.

  2. Respond · 4 min. Child chooses point/sign/AAC/drawing/words/director response to AL prompts. Capture first response and access/support; no correctness feedback or key example.

  3. Continue · 7 min. Use the rest of the short check as appropriate. Later short components allowed; not a timed finish. No unique required next question/action/wait/feeling.

  4. After capture · 5 min. Only after first responses, use separate key and child-owned feedback. Distinguish source comparison from real material handling; correct an unsupported all-pad rule with source limits.

  5. Playful return · 4 min. Child may give a paper puppet a pretend resting place, choose an original pad outline or keep the work private. This is an optional artefact/story, not proof of real comfort or a physical investigation.

  6. Next · 2 min. Choose next teaching: stage relation, prior-versus-later idea, source fiction, or useful question. No term-grade inference.

Teacher keeps: one useful shared source/stage phrase or sketch, relevant individual idea/response and support; actual direct/report/model status. Add missing facts only if needed for the claim. Do not fabricate a prior prediction, physical trial or willing audience.
