Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Learner prompts

Invitation: “Choose the story your model can truthfully tell.” Prepare: Genuinely available ordinary work or a clean start; my-explanation aid. Selected opportunities: U02 / I04 / I06 / I07 / I08; conditional on actual component evidence, not blanket code completion.

Choose a purpose and act · 5 minutes

Offer own reference, private practice, a willing class reader or another locally approved purpose. Learner picks one existing ordinary component or starts one F1–F6 relation now. No previous product, growth comparison or audience exists unless available. They choose a page, diagram, described network, audio only with local consent, or a learner-directed inscription.

Choose the scientific focus · 8 minutes

Offer arrow meaning, matter versus energy, alternative food path or a conditional change prediction. Learner chooses a title only if useful. Ask what the source actually supports and what the explainer should leave open. One focus is enough for a substantial useful partial product.

Make and check a component · 12 minutes

Learner builds an original explanatory component using their chosen source. They label resource parts and arrow convention where relevant. Keep blank/missing sections blank; teacher wording stays support. Add a reason, condition or unknown by their chosen mode, and save at the split.

Use it honestly · 15 minutes

Offer self-use to answer a question or actual willing use if available. Do not force a peer, public upload, speech or imagined successful reader. If a reader actually asks a question, record the exact question and the learner's response privately. A plan for showing is still useful composition, with delivery/use not yet observed.

Keep or change · 6 minutes

Learner evaluates one actual available component by source accuracy and chosen purpose. They can change a resource label, clearer arrow, conditional caption or matter/energy distinction; or keep it with a reason. A personal preference is allowed but does not establish scientific correctness. No invented prior trial or improvement outcome.

Choose what to retain · 4 minutes

Store/share under local privacy rules only as chosen. Teacher notes selected evidence and next invitation. A product is not a certificate that all U02 or Year 7 science has been achieved; unfinished can return later.

Practical check: Sample one actual source-connected choice/reason in the chosen mode. Use Day 29 routes, two worked contexts and home/extra invitation only as useful.
