Day 43 · Right place, right time
Choose a source for this job’s place/time; add a useful question.
Complete ordinary first source
The imaginary visitor asks about a story job set in Pencil Creek this afternoon. One forecast concerns Pencil Creek this afternoon and says rain is possible. A different reporter's morning note from Button Hill says rain was visible there during that view. There is no Button Hill afternoon forecast and no Pencil Creek observed afternoon result. Both sources keep their place/time labels.
Pick one way
Route 43.1 · Suitcase of labels
Child chooses C05's target job and packs only its matching place/time label into an imaginary suitcase. Explain why the other place's report does not settle this job's weather question. The child may direct the packing without lifting or cutting.
Say: “Which label travels with this job?”
Route 43.2 · Yesterday's news desk
Read C06. Child separates the earlier issue tag from the later period tag, then asks whether a newer message is available. Adult answers only “Not supplied in this story.” Do not invent a newer forecast or say the old one is certainly wrong.
Say: “When was it made? Which time does it talk about?”
Route 43.3 · Send back one good question
Use C05 to dictate/sign/draw a reply to the imaginary publisher: ask for the chosen story place's job-time information. Add a note that the other place's clue can still be useful for another question. No real message is sent.
Say: “What would you ask before using this clue?”
Tell, sign, AAC, point with confirmed meaning, draw, type or direct a helper. Rest, pass or stop. Your grown-up reads the source without supplying your relation. A later note has a separate release, never an automatic result.
