This key is public by URL; the checks are fresh relative to routine lessons but not secure exams. Collect first child-controlled responses before sharing feedback. If earlier access matters, prepare/key another approved prompt. Record educator reading/scribing, child-controlled idea, adult content cue, child physical handling and adult-only action separately. Never supply an invented material result.
Check A · Day 15 · Source-bound idea key
The Paper Puppet Request Board source gives exactly PLEASE POINT and I WILL LOOK FIRST as two printed fictional messages. The human design purpose is to show one message at a time to a pretend puppet reader, so that the other message is covered or turned away. It does not report any real person's choice or understanding.
Two meaningfully different safe broad-paper ideas could be: one broad fold-over cover that exposes one panel while covering the other; or a large two-sided card that is turned to face the puppet with only one side visible. A child may offer another large safe solution. Accept any choice explained from the source's one-at-a-time purpose and a real-reader check such as asking/observing what the reader understood if an actual agreed interaction later happens. Drawing both messages visible at once does not meet the printed purpose; invite a revision. Day 15 does not establish a made working device or actual help/consent behaviour.
| First response | Next move |
|---|---|
| Names the two printed message choices, offers two distinct broad-paper displays, chooses one for the one-at-a-time purpose and names a reader check | Record partial K01/P01 idea evidence; later offer a different physical design context. |
| Gives two colours but the same visible arrangement | Ask for a different fold, face or placement and compare against “one at a time.” |
| Says the puppet understood a paper message | Ask what real reader action was observed; if none, relabel as intended result. |
| Starts telling a personal help story | Reassure that the invented puppet source is enough; do not copy personal details into public materials. |
Check B · Day 20 · Safe process key with no fabricated result
The Paper Stop Gate source prints one LARGE FLAT RECTANGLE MARKER, one BROAD BLANK PAPER SHEET, and a START → END paper route. Purpose: after one short slow tabletop slide, keep the marker before END. No prior result is printed. Example valid ideas are a wide upright folded edge placed before END and a broad shallow folded pocket placed before END; a child may choose either or another safe distinct idea. The expected answer is a reasoned proposal and honest observation, not a prescribed successful shape.
Safe order is adult-approved broad paper and clear table; choose/fold/place a large gate away from the table edge; put the large flat marker at START; slide it slowly along the tabletop once while an adult is ready to catch it; observe relative to END. No throwing, lifting, pins, tiny parts, scissors, tape or sharp tools. If the marker remains before END, record STOPPED. If it passes END, record CROSSED. If no real approved slide occurs, record NOT TRIED. These are conditional decision rules, not claims that any prototype succeeded. Credit a true observation and sensible revision even when a gate does not stop the marker. If an adult alone builds/slides, record child idea/evaluation separately; do not mark independent physical making as observed.
| First response | Next move |
|---|---|
| Two safe ideas, purpose-linked choice, safe ordered steps, observed or NOT TRIED result and one next change | Record which components were actually child-controlled; plan a later different design brief. |
| “It stopped” before a real slide | Relabel PREDICTION; leave actual result NOT TRIED until an approved trial. |
| Real marker crosses END | Keep CROSSED; discuss one broad fold/placement change rather than penalising the child. |
| Gate exists only as a drawing | Credit generation/communication; mark material use and physical testing not observed. |
Curriculum boundary: The public checks sample Foundation Design and Technologies AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01 partially. A fictional puppet is not a real familiar source, a made material solution or HPE help/permission outcome. An actual school-selected familiar source, safe making and material result need their own observed record. No Queensland achievement-standard grade or classroom-effectiveness claim follows from these checks.
