## Title

Repair a blocked-paper shortcut

## Time

15–30 adjustable minutes or several short offers; optional project, not required homework.

## Purpose

Make something a willing reader could actually use: a replayable paper route guide or a complete quantity/order card with a checking reason.

## Complete launch source

Fictional paper scene: Secret-caption repair. Columns A to D run left to right; rows 1 to 4 run top to bottom. The 4 by 4 grid has equal cells. One move reaches one neighbouring cell, with no diagonals. Up/down refer to this page’s top/bottom, not a person’s facing direction. Start B4; target D2. Closed cells: C4. Never enter or pass through them. The proposed instruction is 2 cells right, then 2 cells up. This is supplied fiction, not an observed journey or real-world distance.

## Launch invitation

Make a complete route a reader could follow. Name its start, target, directions and a checking reason. A different legal route is welcome.

## Own first

- Choose one job and explain who might use the guide. A fictional reader or solo rehearsal is fine.

- Receive own source-specific route or representation before adult worked support.

- Build/dictate a complete guide with a legend, full quantities or directions and one checking reason.

- Use the stated source to replay/check. If a willing real reader tries it, record their actual words/actions with permission; otherwise keep it as a proposed test.

- Change one explained feature and keep both chosen versions manually. Recheck the full source after any change.

## After own model

The proposed recorded positions are B4, C4, D4, D3, D2; final D2. It makes 4 one-cell moves, with 5 recorded positions including its start. This geometric trace is not a legal journey: stop before a closed cell. A legal replacement must avoid it at every step. One legal replacement is 2 cells up, then 2 cells right; positions B4, B3, B2, C2, D2. Every listed position is inside the grid and open, and the final position is the target. Replay all entered positions to check the replacement; this is a proposed paper route, not an observed real journey.

## Complete different guided source

Fictional paper scene: Secret-caption repair — separate later try. Columns A to D run left to right; rows 1 to 4 run top to bottom. The 4 by 4 grid has equal cells. One move reaches one neighbouring cell, with no diagonals. Up/down refer to this page’s top/bottom, not a person’s facing direction. Start A3; target D1. Closed cells: B3. Never enter or pass through them. The proposed instruction is 3 cells right, then 2 cells up. This is supplied fiction, not an observed journey or real-world distance.

## Guided offer

Make a complete route a reader could follow. Name its start, target, directions and a checking reason. A different legal route is welcome.

## Guided staff possible

The proposed recorded positions are A3, B3, C3, D3, D2, D1; final D1. It makes 5 one-cell moves, with 6 recorded positions including its start. This geometric trace is not a legal journey: stop before a closed cell. A legal replacement must avoid it at every step. One legal replacement is 2 cells up, then 3 cells right; positions A3, A2, A1, B1, C1, D1. Every listed position is inside the grid and open, and the final position is the target. Replay all entered positions to check the replacement; this is a proposed paper route, not an observed real journey.

## Make it yours

- Swap the story purpose while preserving source quantities/positions, or declare/recheck a complete new source.

- Use marks, oral directions, sign/AAC or a tactile model. No polished handwriting or digital art criterion.

- Make a larger paper guide, a quiet one-card version or an optional new challenge with explicitly new values.

## Review

A useful product has complete known source information, a supported route/value/check and truthful open reader outcomes. Quality of drawing or public sharing is not mathematical evidence.
