# Day 39 · Give a reader a trustworthy sky guide

**Child start:** “Keep a sentence the notes support. Change one that goes too far. Give someone a useful guide.”

**Useful finish:** First complete Sky Question Guide page. **Prerequisite:** Taughtrecord/status/time distinctions and a source-labelled ordinary record. **Prepare:** Same complete ordinary archive; unsupported “this shows tonight in our town” draft; own page. **Opportunities:** H01/I04/I05/I06/U01.

**Complete model:** Fictional exhibition record says same named cluster is beside a frame mark in two model panels. Draft says “You will see these stars beside your bedroom window tonight”. Keep the model's specific positions; replace local future certainty with a model explanation and a next current-source/optional actual-record question. Use a willing real reader only if they agree; imagined feedback remains fiction.

**Run:**2 min choose reader/purpose;3 min separate source-supported finding from overclaim;7 min route;3 min ask what the guide helps do and cannot promise. Extend with reader use4 min, exact feedback record 3 min and one reasoned revision3 min.

**Route1 — Make a pocket guide:** Use a reusable folded paper page with question, supported record, source and next check. No craft-quality score. **Route2 — Host a quiet help desk:** Child communicates a short guide, willing adult asks one question, child keeps/revises with a reason. **Route3 — Compare kept/current wording:** Use paper or blank Desk; keep original message, edit current, read an exact comparison. It does not automatically grade Science or invent feedback.

**Notice/next:** Useful evidence-linked message, limit and actual/invented reader status. If source loses label, reconnect row to message. If “always” appears, state only the actual comparable records. Home H09; C17–18; X09.
