Useful job: Make an if-plan for a small story/drawing job without treating rain as guaranteed. Target: relate a forecast clue to an everyday choice, with uncertainty; AC9S1H01/I01/I06, U02 daily weather connection partial.
Source/preparation: C03 and C04, empty two-door planner. Keep C03's later ordinary result separate until a wanted first idea is offered/saved or declined. Broad labels “if rain is recorded” / “if no rain is recorded” are read by the adult. Both indoor story choices remain usable.
Six moves: (1) Read C03's first forecast and explicit job choice. (2) Invite a tentative weather idea and reason before opening the later note; uncertainty is welcome. (3) Make one conditional job plan: if the rain clue appears, an indoor rain-sound picture; if not, an indoor cloud story. (4) Offer a chosen mechanism below. (5) Release the complete later ordinary report only under the staging rule; compare with the saved contribution honestly. (6) Model a different source with C04: a dry early report cannot promise a rain-free afternoon. Neither preferred story is the only sensible plan.
Route 42.1 · Fold-open choice board
Use uncut scrap paper folded by an adult if wanted, or two spoken spaces. Child makes one rain-possible branch and one no-rain-recorded branch for C03. Open the later report and choose which branch fits that source. Do not create a real weather result with water or sound effects.
Say: “Give your plan two ways to work.”
Route 42.2 · Rescue the overconfident host
Read C04 and the new wrong host line “Dry now means dry all afternoon.” Child repairs the host's line, then adds a useful ask/check before a later job. Adult can play the muddled host privately; a public performance is optional.
Say: “Our host said too much. What could they say?”
Route 42.3 · Silent storyboard director
Child directs a helper to draw C03's two indoor job choices in separate frames. Before release, child chooses or leaves a tentative branch. After the complete later note, keep both frames and add the source-supported selection without deleting the first idea.
Say: “Tell your helper which picture goes in each space.”
Small check/next: Explains a conditional plan linked to a clue, keeping forecast, report and performed job separate. If an if-plan becomes certainty, use C04. If later information overwrites the first thought, retain both C03 labelled stages. Exit: “What could make you keep or change your plan?”
