This eighth original fortnight follows the paper alignment guide with a new kind of decision: which broad material helps a particular user and purpose? In Week 15, children design a large tabletop pad for a gentle, optional call-and-response cue. In Week 16, they reconsider safe large materials as a dry landing pad for empty unbreakable A/B vessels. A material that seems useful for a soft tap is not assumed to suit a container, or every child. Children propose two ideas, try only locally approved actions, keep actual user feedback, and revise from evidence or an honest unknown.
This sits beside integrated Week 15 music and Week 16 dry comparison-station work. The Design pack teaches purpose, material choice, safe making and evaluation. It does not establish musical composition/performance, hearing ability, observed Science material properties, respectful turn taking or mathematics capacity. No sound, water or vessel result is pre-written.
Begin with materials, safe actions and exact fictional sources. The pack includes ten timed 25-minute scripts, three switchable same-goal routes per day, twenty worked life-domain examples, eight original A4 SVG/PDF aids with full text/tactile alternatives, and two fresh public formative checks with a separate public teacher key. Home bridges require only talk or drawing; no purchase, printer, instrument, vessel, water or home test.
Evidence gate: The printed pads are proposals. An actual child material action needs a school-approved full-size clean pad and a real, comfortable optional try. Record who handled material. For a cue, record the willing user's actual words/action if any, with no universal “quiet” result inferred. For a dry landing try, an adult controls empty unbreakable vessels and records whether each vessel base is FULLY ON / EDGE OFF / NOT TRIED on the chosen broad pad. This is not a tipping, leak, strength or capacity test. If no physical try is suitable, the plan-only route stays complete and physical outcomes are NOT TRIED. A real familiar product/service/environment for AC9TDEFK01 is locally selected and actually observed; the fictional examples do not supply it.
The exact ACARA v9/QCAA Prep crosswalk, source/rights ledger, role run-through, offline verifier and SHA-256 receipt show what was checked. This is an author-reviewed draft, not a QCAA-endorsed unit, completed Foundation course, secure exam, classroom trial or proven child benefit.
