Prepare the approved broad kit and exact invented source before class. Offer any A/B/C route, changing it as needed; routes are access choices, not fixed learning styles. Each script totals 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 25 minutes. A drawn alignment rail is a proposal. Keep child design, actual material handler, edge-contact result, real viewer response and any Science/HASS record separate. No real family story or plant result is supplied here.
Week 13 · Day 61 · Why might someone design a guide?
Target/codes: Name a person-designed reference feature, pretend viewer and purpose; AC9TDEFK01. Real familiarity requires a later approved local source.
- Welcome · 3 min. A pretend drawing collector wants to look at two broad practice cards from the same starting edge. Say they are invented mark drawings, not Mika's family album or real plant records.
- Notice source · 4 min. Show two drawing cards: CARD ONE and CARD TWO, each a square and dot with a different dot position. No rail or physical placement is shown.
- Model · 5 min. “A person could add a reference edge so both card bottoms start at the same place.” Explain intended help; matching paper edges does not prove the two sketches came from the same view.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Children name one guide feature and who might use it, then suggest another feature such as a thick line or large corner. Draw, speak, point, sign, use AAC or direct an adult. A real familiar classroom guide may be shown only with approval and the blank source slot.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record feature + user/purpose. If child only names dots, ask which part a person would design to position the paper. If they call the dots real change, return to “invented drawings.”
- Exit · 2 min. “The guide could help ___ put paper ___.”
Week 13 · Day 62 · A line or a corner?
Target/codes: Compare two human-designed guide ideas against a stated paper-position purpose; AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01, proposal only.
- Welcome · 3 min. Revisit the pretend user's question: where can each broad card start?
- Notice source · 4 min. Show two guide ideas: BOTTOM EDGE GUIDE and LEFT CORNER GUIDE. Both are A4 schematics, not physical results.
- Model · 5 min. A bottom line might help match one edge; a corner offers two meeting edges. Say neither has been tried with real large cards, and neither makes the original drawings comparable by itself.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child says one possible help/difficulty of each and chooses one for a pretend viewer who places wide cards. Let a child change the choice for narrow cards and explain why.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record both distinct features and the reason. If “the corner always works” is asserted, ask what actual card size/handling would need trying.
- Exit · 2 min. Point to the reference edge they would show first.
Week 13 · Day 63 · Two guide ideas of your own
Target/codes: Generate, communicate and select two distinct alignment-guide ideas; AC9TDEFP01.
- Welcome · 3 min. Two designs give a maker a choice before marking a big sheet.
- Notice source · 4 min. Reopen two drawing cards. The square/dot differences are fictional; the job is to position the paper edges consistently.
- Model · 5 min. Sketch a thick bottom line and, separately, two widely spaced corner marks. Name both as ideas without choosing a physical result.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child draws, describes, signs or directs an adult to show two truly different broad guides, chooses one for the stated card shape and says why a viewer might find it.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record both ideas and choice. If ideas only change colour, invite a different edge, corner or label that works without colour. If a card covers the guide, ask what a person could still see.
- Exit · 2 min. “I would try ___ first because ___.”
Week 13 · Day 64 · Plan safe marking and placement
Target/codes: Sequence adult-gated making/placement steps and name a stop condition; AC9TDEFP01, plan evidence only.
- Welcome · 3 min. Adult checks broad paper and clear tabletop. Child may choose no touch.
- Notice source · 4 min. Read safe guide steps: adult checks, mark a big guide, place two large cards, look/report. BOTH ON GUIDE / ONE OFF GUIDE / NOT TRIED remain unselected.
- Model · 5 min. Hold up an unmarked broad page or describe one, and talk through where a reference edge might go. Do not claim cards touched it.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child orders steps, chooses self-marker/adult-directed/plan-only route, and names a stop condition: unsuitable surface, unclear access, small pieces, unwilling touch or no approval.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record safe order, proposed handler and intended observation. A statement that the drawn cards “were both on” is a prediction, not a result; keep NOT TRIED.
- Exit · 2 min. Save plan with NOT TRIED.
Week 13 · Day 65 · Fresh check A
Target/codes: Transfer two-guide reasoning to a new fictional pair of drawing sheets; AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01 as proposal evidence.
- Welcome · 3 min. This is a fresh public formative check. Save first ideas before feedback.
- Notice source · 4 min. Give Check A and its A4 source. Read only the supplied sheet labels and user problem.
- Model access · 5 min. On unrelated blank cards, show how to draw, point, dictate, sign, use AAC or request exact scribing. Do not demonstrate a check guide.
- Independent response · 7 min. Child gives two different large-paper guide ideas, chooses one for the pretend user and names what a real placement would need to show. Adult logs any content cue.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Collect first work before consulting public teacher key. If there is only one idea, save it and teach toward a second afterwards, separately.
- Exit · 2 min. Name one actual result a drawing cannot supply.
Week 14 · Day 66 · Decide what to check
Target/codes: Choose a safe broad material and an actual edge-contact criterion before a trial; AC9TDEFP01.
- Welcome · 3 min. A printed line may look clear but not be visible under two large cards. Material and viewer position matter.
- Notice source · 4 min. Open design record. Adult presents only approved A3-or-larger paper/card or describes it accurately for a no-touch learner.
- Model · 5 min. State two separate questions: “Will both card edges actually touch the guide?” and “Can a willing viewer find the guide?” The first is an observed material result; the second needs a person.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child chooses a material, guide position and visible label. They state whether they inspected, heard about or did not see the material, and how they would check it safely.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record material choice, edge criterion and unknown. If the child assumes the plant grew because two sheets align, return to the paper-only purpose.
- Exit · 2 min. Name what an approved physical try would observe.
Week 14 · Day 67 · Optional real guide trial
Target/codes: If locally approved, safely mark/place broad practice paper and report actual edge contact; AC9TDEFP01 conditional material evidence.
- Welcome · 3 min. Confirm school-approved large paper/cards, stable clear table, child choice and adult supervision. Otherwise do spoken plan and mark NOT TRIED.
- Notice source · 4 min. Re-read safe steps and the child's guide plan. The A4 aid is not a physical-size rail.
- Model recording · 5 min. Show design record: physical marker, each card placer, edge result and any real viewer action have separate blanks; prefill none.
- Child trial or plan · 7 min. With approval, child marks a wide reference line/corner and places CARD ONE and CARD TWO in turn, or directs an adult who physically does so. Note who marked/placed. Observe BOTH ON GUIDE or ONE OFF GUIDE only from actual contact; describe another actual result rather than force the labels. If a willing viewer checks where to start, record exact action. No trial: plan aloud, NOT TRIED, viewer unknown.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record actual handler, edge result and viewer response separately. The internal dots may still differ; this try cannot prove any real plant/view change. Adult-only marking is adult action.
- Exit · 2 min. Save first guide record or clear untried plan.
Week 14 · Day 68 · Revise from evidence or unknown
Target/codes: Evaluate the guide and propose one change tied to observed edge contact or a named unknown; AC9TDEFP01.
- Welcome · 3 min. A card landing off a guide is useful design information, not a wrong child answer.
- Notice source · 4 min. Reopen the child's actual Day 67 record, or a blank revision sketch with NOT TRIED.
- Model · 5 min. Hypothetical: “If one broad edge missed the thin line, I might try a wider reference mark.” It could help; no improvement is established without a new try.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child changes one feature (line width, corner size, location or label), says what evidence/unknown prompted it, and names what to check next. A second school-approved try gets a separate new record.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record evidence/unknown → proposed change → next observation. If only decoration changes, ask how it helps place a paper edge.
- Exit · 2 min. “I observed/was told , so I would ,” or “I still need to test ___.”
Week 14 · Day 69 · What could a real record need?
Target/codes: Explain a person-made guide's purpose and identify the extra provenance needed for a real record; AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01, conditional authentic source.
- Welcome · 3 min. A school may have two real dated plant records, but none comes with this pack. Do not use child family records as public examples.
- Notice source · 4 min. Show blank real record gate: approved source, date/view/permission, child-seen feature and uncertainty. Leave blank unless a genuinely approved local source exists.
- Model · 5 min. Say, “My guide can help me place two pieces of paper at one edge. To compare a plant across days, I would also need the same plant, known dates and a comparable view.” A guide does not establish these.
- Child design talk · 7 min. Child explains guide feature and audience, then says one extra source fact a real observer would need. They can use invented practice cards if no real plant record is available. A real familiar designed tool enters only with source/permission.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record child feature/purpose and the missing information question. If the child claims “the plant grew,” ask what real dated observations support that; keep Science judgement separate.
- Exit · 2 min. Complete “The guide helps paper ; to know about a plant I also need .”
Week 14 · Day 70 · Fresh check B
Target/codes: Design and conditionally evaluate a new alignment guide with safe steps and honest result status; AC9TDEFP01.
- Welcome · 3 min. Collect a first response to a new public task before feedback.
- Notice source · 4 min. Give Check B with its A4 source. No real plant record or material result is supplied.
- Model access · 5 min. On unrelated blank paper show accepted drawing, speech, sign, AAC and adult-scribe routes without supplying a guide idea.
- Independent response · 7 min. Child gives two distinct guide plans, chooses one for the stated viewer, names adult-checked steps and reports only actual approved edge contact or NOT TRIED.
- Check/respond · 4 min. Record first response and adult content cue; then use public teacher key for next teaching. Any later revision is a separate record. No plant-change conclusion is scored.
- Exit · 2 min. Child names one change or next question connected to evidence or an unknown.
