“Follow the named planet. Which background marks help you tell the change?”

Your notes

Fictional schematic readings: week 1 planet above J; week 3 planet between J/K; week 5 planet below K. J/K remain fixed relative to each other in this model. A separately drawn horizon changes between pictures, so use the J/K relation for this question. No real astronomical coordinates, current planet location, equal movement speed or local sighting is supplied. Future week 7 position is not given.

Pick one way

Route1 — Pin the background: Child moves/directs the named token against J/K without moving them; makes an arrow labelled “change in this supplied sequence”, not speed. Route2 — Diagnose an ambiguous caption: Replace “it moved there” with object/reference/week words. Keep the changed horizon note but do not use it as a fixed reference. Route3 — Make a record request: Compose a short request for another later-date J/K record; it is a classroom draft, not a message sent to a real observatory.

You can ask a grown-up to read or write exactly what you tell them. Do a small useful part, rest or pass. A made-up note is not a real sky sighting.
