C01 · Three messages from Paper Bay · educator whole source and model
Complete source: At story breakfast time, imaginary forecaster Neri supplies a message about Paper Bay's afternoon: rain is possible. At story lunchtime, imaginary reporter Kit supplies a different message: no rain was seen during Kit's short view from the indoor desk. Imaginary planner Dee writes, “If rain is recorded at story time, I plan to make a rain picture inside.” Dee has not yet made that picture. Kit's report does not cover the entire afternoon. No real place, forecast or learner observation is supplied.
Worked meaning after an own idea: Neri's message is a forecast, Kit's is a bounded report, Dee's is an unperformed plan. “Rain possible” is not “rain happened”. An adult can read the sentence/time tags without deciding the child's label.
