# Day 41 · Forecast, report, plan

**Useful job:** Put the right label on a weather message so a reader knows what kind of clue it is. **Target:** distinguish prediction, recorded weather and intended action; AC9S1H01/I01/I04/I06, U02 only for a stated environmental change.

**Source/preparation:** C01 and C02, with the separate small P1 primary fact if useful. Three broad labels or spoken choices: forecast, report, plan. Teacher reads the source time, place and role aloud.

**Six moves:** (1) Read C01 in full and invite an own label for just one sentence. (2) Ask who says it and whether it concerns a future possibility, something recorded or something intended. (3) Model with the different C02 sentence: a plan to use a covered desk has not happened merely because it is written. (4) Offer a route below, giving all its facts before asking for a relation. (5) Invite a short useful label and reason, keeping the original source attached. (6) Check meaning rather than the number of sorted cards; end with one own question or leave it open.

### Route 41.1 · Three-door post office

Read C01. Child sends one of its three complete sentences to a broad labelled door by placing, pointing or directing a helper. Ask why that door fits. Then choose whether to move a second sentence. A mistaken placement can be changed after re-reading; no race or automatic score.

Say: “Where does this message belong? Tell me your reason.”

### Route 41.2 · Meet the message-maker

Adult takes a clearly imaginary role from C01: forecaster, reporter or planner. Child asks what that person knows now. Adult replies with only the complete supplied sentence; child makes a voice/sign/AAC label for the role. The pretend interview is not a real contact with a meteorologist.

Say: “Ask your message-maker what they are telling us.”

### Route 41.3 · Stamp the caption

Use C02's full sketch-work note. Child marks or dictates “plan” beside its intended covered-desk job, then makes an open space for a future report. Adult reads back any scribing. A blank future space is correct when no result exists.

Say: “Give this plan its label. The result can wait.”

**Small check/next:** A supported role and reason, not three memorised words. If a forecast becomes observed rain, use C04's dry notice and still-open forecast. If plan becomes action, use C02's not-yet-performed job. Record who supplied the relation. **Exit:** “What would you like the next message to tell us?”
