Your teacher can read every card aloud. You can point, speak, draw, use AAC, move approved broad paper or direct an adult. The routes are not fixed learning styles; all three aim at the same daily target. A drawing or adult demonstration is useful design thinking, but it does not show that the child handled material. If an adult places a viewer on a child's direction, record both roles; an actual observed view may still be recorded. Mark the view trial NOT TRIED only when no approved placement occurred. The A4 full-text alternatives support nonvisual and no-print use. The public checks appear separately in student copy; collect first responses before feedback.

Day 21 · A person designs a focus helper

Shared target: Tell who a person-designed feature would help and why.

Home: Ask a puppet which mark it would like to focus on. A spoken answer is enough.

Day 22 · Two window ideas

Shared target: Compare two untested opening ideas for one purpose.

Home: Look for a broad frame on a book or box and describe its possible purpose; do not cut anything.

Day 23 · Two positions

Shared target: Communicate two different places for one proposed viewer.

Home: Use a finger above a magazine picture to show two possible frames, without collecting personal photos.

Day 24 · Safe order

Shared target: Order a safe plan and distinguish adult preparation from a child's possible action.

Home: Explain the paper-only plan to a puppet. Do not cut or test at home.

Day 25 · Fresh check A

Shared target: Give two ideas and a reason for the new pretend display purpose in Check A.

Home: After first responses have been collected, invent a new two-mark display for a toy visitor; no purchase or photo needed.

Day 26 · Choose what to inspect

Shared target: Select a safe broad sheet and name what must be checked before claiming it covers a mark.

Home: Sketch one large sheet idea and a question you would ask before using it.

Day 27 · Trial or plan

Shared target: Follow or describe safe steps, then report only an actual view.

Home: A spoken plan is enough. No home cutting or test required.

Day 28 · A useful change

Shared target: Choose a revision that addresses observed evidence or a named unknown.

Home: Tell a puppet how you could improve a pretend picture viewer.

Day 29 · Explain to someone else

Shared target: Communicate user, purpose, feature, choice and honest evidence limit.

Home: Choose an everyday paper window you notice and ask who might have designed it. Sharing is optional.

Day 30 · Fresh check B

Shared target: Design a new broad pointer for Check B, then distinguish a plan from an observed trial.

Home: After first responses, tell a puppet how to point clearly on an invented sign. Do not cut or photograph a real sign.
