# Day 38 — Fix the claim, keep the clue

**Useful outcome:** Repair an overclaim while keeping a useful fact and source.

**Prepare:** O7; broad claim/repair slips; F3 optional date example.

**Partial opportunities:** AC9HS1S03, AC9HS1S05, AC9HS1S06. Refer to whole authority and explicit limits in the linked curriculum scope; opportunity is not observed mastery.

1. **Start ·3:** Read child invitation I08 in the ordinary source menu. Invite a wanted useful product. Offer private work, rest, pass, stop or another route.

2. **Source/model ·5:** A fresh invented jacket record says one jacket had a hood; repair “everyone wore hoods” to a statement about that item. Adult demonstration stays separate from child evidence.

3. **Guided source work ·part of 10:** Read O7's first label and source record: “All families used this game” is unsupported; one invented household account is supplied. A 2024 note says the source label was added in 2023. The note does not report a reader's answer or an exact making day.

4. **Own useful work ·rest of 10:** Child repairs one overclaim into a supported caption with item, source and date job. Give a modest proposal such as keeping the source card beside the caption, linked to the specific missing clue. Record whether only planned, actually made or actually tried.

5. **Compare ·5:** Check that the repair changes the claim without erasing useful evidence. A proposal is not an action; a made label is not proof its reader understood. Preserve both actual versions only if both really exist.

6. **Notice and teach next ·2:** If repair deletes everything, use a fresh invented raincoat catalogue that supports blue colour but not every wearer. If 2024 publication is substituted for 2023 action, compare fresh menu note written 2022 reporting print 2021.

### Three ways to take part

(a) **Claim stamp repair:** Place a broad “this source says” slip over the unsupported universal phrase; describe the new full sentence.

(b) **Before/after label workshop:** Write or dictate original claim and repaired claim on separate paper areas; no invented personal baseline.

(c) **Collection editor bench:** Type or direct manual fields on the planned local bench; preview source/detail/unknown in linear text without automatic marking.

All routes retain the access/attribution/stop choices above. **Observe:** A supported conclusion/caption repair and reasoned proposal with truthful current status.

**Extra contexts:** C15/C16; **home:** H08; **optional larger making:** X08; **written read-aloud:** N08. Full source/own/staff separation follows the linked assessment selection guidance.

## Complete selected sources

### O7 — Repair the collection caption

Original fiction. One household account says Uma played a cloth picture game with a cousin in 2003. A first display label written 2022 says “All families used this game.” No other household account supports that claim. A note written 2024 reports that a source label was added to the display in 2023. It does not give the exact day or a reader's response. A proposed pocket for the source card has not been made. The child can repair the overclaim to a statement about the supplied Uma account and keep the source beside it as a proposal; the source does not report that proposal becoming action.
