# Eight public formative sources

Four families first/later. On Day 45 use first, Day 50 later, one component now/another later. These sources are published openly, not secure or guaranteed unfamiliar; teacher substitutes a genuinely new appropriate locally keyed source if needed. Exact source access can repeat neutrally. No answer/example before capture. Unknown/source supported interpretations and child owned ideas remain distinct.

## B-first · A drawn pond model

Original informative text: A paper pond model has one bridge at the top and one hut at the bottom. The sentence says, “The bridge is above the hut.” The diagram label hut only names the building; it does not say who lives there. There are no animals drawn. This is an invented model, not a safe walking route or a wildlife record.

Q1: What extra information does the sentence give beyond hut?

Q2: Name one position from the source.

Q3: Does no drawn animal prove there are no animals at a real pond?

Q4: Make an own diagram/report and explain one detail.

## B-later · A drawn station model

Q1: What is the difference between bench and the sentence?

Q2: Where is the sign described?

Q3: Can this model tell a real train departure time?
