Teaching copy · prompts and models

Give the complete source and preserve the first response before these teaching models. Record prior exposure and actual support. Staff answer keys and reserved R sources remain withheld; public formative resources are not secure tests.

Use the learner offers and one source or own work. Choose one route; you do not need thirty logs. The twenty worked contexts show defensible choices, not compositions to copy.

Preparation

Clean scrap and a pencil/usual approved marking tool; optional familiar crayons or comfortable paper pieces. Paper handling, touch, sound, public showing and digital operation are not compulsory. No blade, adhesive, unknown-surface rubbing, lamp/dark room, food/skin marking, dismantling or purchase. A usual access tool or willing adult can execute exact learner directions. Name who chose and who actually made/operated. A described plan remains a plan; a supplied picture is not a child material trial.

30 Fresh F first component and own revision New brief

Ordinary optional planning start:3 minutes encounter,4 model,4 try,10 own work,4 review. Fresh planning slots give the source and first opportunity before any model. Split, extend or return later; these are author planning estimates, not observed pace or a score.

Source access and own choices

The ordinary sources provide each complete image and readable literal equivalent. A partner can supply literal facts without providing an interpretation; no mental picture is required. A–D are supplied adult-made digital stimuli, not child practice. Learners actually try small own relations/materials where available. A child may choose deliberate chance/irregular marks for an idea. Ask what the relation does; do not reward neatness or prescribe an emotion.

Opaque paper/digital white fill can actually cover an earlier edge. Complete pencil outlines remain visible. Deliberate omission or available erasure represents a hidden edge; it is a different process. For24C, two supported readings/features are the responding-only exit and making is unelicited unless separately performed.

First response and next teaching

Fresh E source and fresh learner prompts come before models/key. Check actual prior familiarity. Capture actual choices, source access, hints, operator and what remains open. ForF, offer an own first component AND an own chosen revision/reason before staff models. If no revision is made, initial revision is unelicited; later assisted work stays supported later work. A partial first component can be enough to choose the next teaching move.

Staff-only teacher/KEY-AND-NEXT.md gives separate descriptive E/F examples, component rubric and next moves. Staff-only teacher/RECHECK-SOURCES.md gives four different reserved opportunities, source first/key later. These held members are not linked here as learner downloads. R1/R2 follow responding repair; R3/R4 follow making/process/encounter teaching. At another sitting, use only a source not already encountered and preserve the first/later support record. They are not secure tests or whole-band grades.

Actual informal work/process sharing can support P01 only when it occurs. Private self-review is valuable and leaves that component open. No actual viewer response is inferred from a completed work, a display plan or a caption. Full source scope retains the unsupplied cultural/artist breadth. An authentic First Nations work and its authorised Country/Place context (E02) remain unprovided.

Separate fresh opportunities · first response before models

Give the complete source and neutral prompt first. Record prior exposure and actual support. Keep ordinary worked models until first capture. Staff keys, reserved rechecks and reserved R pictures remain withheld. Public access does not make these secure tests.
