One choice, three guides

Day 37 · One choice, three guides

Complete source

Two complete original guides to the same pretend kit. New-reader guide: “There are two cards. A star mark names the star card. Pick that one if your drawing needs a star.” Familiar-reader guide: “For a star drawing, choose the star card.” Both guide a paper choice; neither reports a reader result.

Invitation

Make a third guide to the same star-card job for a reader you choose.

Full sequence

Read both original versions; locate assumptions; name the chosen audience/job; compose and explain a useful change.

Adult possible reasoning · keep separate from own words

The new-reader version explains the marks and kit; the familiar-reader version assumes the reader knows the star card.

Access and limits

The chosen reader can be imagined; no personal disclosure or live audience is needed. Choose a small part; no time/box/word quota, purchase, printer or returned work.

Both can be useful; fewer words is not always better, and real audience needs are not known from the titles alone.

Notice

The new wording responds to audience while keeping the source choice.
