# The cardboard gallery cards

## Complete fictional source

Two complete original fictional texts describe a cardboard gallery. Text A is a visitor route note: ‘Shell drawings: go through the folded door and follow the dotted line to the shell table.’ Its image description shows the dotted line and a large sign labelled SHELL TABLE. The source gives no size of another sign. Text B is a story: ‘The paper shell rolled past the door, giggling as the dotted line tickled its edge.’ A visitor wants to find the shell drawings. Another reader wants a funny character event. The texts share a place but have different jobs. The image description also shows a square marker beside the folded door; Text A’s words do not name that marker. There is no real gallery, local direction or claim that a shell can giggle. Any added recommendation should stay distinguishable from the source’s words.

## 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.
