# The toy-stage report

## Complete fictional source

This is a new complete fictional response, not the earlier tray situation. The pretend toy stage offers a folded backdrop and a flat drawing sheet. A visiting puppet-maker needs a scene that can stand while the puppet tells a story. The supplied response says, ‘I choose the folded backdrop because it stands on the table in this pretend setup.’ A label-making idea appears on a different card: ‘We could add the story title tomorrow.’ The title has not been added. The report draft reads ‘This one is good. Put it there.’ A supplied reader question asks, ‘Which one, and what does it help the puppet-maker do?’ The illustration description shows the folded backdrop upright in the fictional setup, with the flat sheet lying beside it. It is not evidence from a real stability test. A report can describe the supplied choice and its stated reason without inventing other properties.

## Four own invitations

### Q1

Ask one useful question that helps this puppet-maker choose for the stated scene job.

### Q2

Replace ‘This one is good’ with a source-faithful report of the choice and reason.

### Q3

Explain whether the story title is already on the backdrop, using the source.

### Q4

Make one useful revision to ‘Put it there’ and explain how it answers the supplied reader’s question.

## Ways to respond

Adult reading of the full source, usual communication, larger print, breaks, pointing and exact dictation are allowed; record which. Do not supply a component’s worked answer or criterion before a genuine first response. Reading aloud means this case cannot by itself demonstrate independent decoding; adult pen work cannot demonstrate handwriting.

Original neutral first/later formative source, not a calibrated official assessment band.
