# A little collection — paper or spoken bench

Use nine labelled blank spaces matching the fields above. Adults can read one label at a time; child can dictate/sign/AAC/direct marks. No diagnosis or personal identifier required. Full selected source stays available. Record helper writing/operation apart from child choice. A simple spoken account of selected fields is complete; no need to fill every box.

- **Collect:** choose a question and source; enter only actually chosen relevant details, source/status/date-job/rule/perspective/connection/unknown. Unanswered fields remain blank/unknown, not wrong.
- **Preview:** read the current entries linearly. Mark draft if changing; a new draft supersedes a copied old version without claiming it was erased elsewhere.
- **Copy:** if wanted, make a paper/transcribed copy and name who wrote which part. A proposed copy is not made until actually copied. If the working draft changes while a helper is copying, check which version was actually copied and keep it labelled as that version. Do not call an older copy the current draft or imply Cancel/Clear removed a retained copy.
- **Clear/Cancel:** say what would be discarded and ask for a wanted decision. Cancel keeps all work; confirmed clear removes only the chosen working sheet/marks under the adult's normal arrangements, never another retained copy. No compulsory destruction of learner work.
- **Leaving/returning:** choose a wanted paper copy before leaving. Start a fresh empty working sheet on return; retained copies are deliberately kept records, not automatic bench persistence. Keep no false digital retention promise.
- **Six local scenarios:** (1) no entries yet: blank, not zero; (2) source detail read and retained, no own conclusion: separate source/own; (3) date/source changed: mark old preview stale and read new version; (4) pending clear then edit: cancel the old decision and retain current work; (5) cancel: keep chosen work and return to making; (6) two entries made, reader reply absent: keep actual creation and unknown result, no invented success.
