Use the examples after a child's first idea, not as assessment answers. Each pair changes the user or life domain while retaining that day's Design target. All named situations are fictional; quoted reader actions below are hypothetical next observations, never an actual class result. No purchase, collection, outdoor action or family disclosure is required. The fresh held checks are absent here.

Day Worked example one Worked example two
81 Picture-book editor: A pretend editor has a close drawing of one ring and a wider drawing with a triangle outside that crop. A large outside label “two views inside” would tell the next reader to look for both; whether the reader does so is unknown. Sports play caller: A pretend caller has a close sketch of one marker and a wide sketch of the whole invented paper court. A folder named “same scene, two views” might prevent a single sketch being treated as complete; no real game is represented.
82 Toy repair notes: A side fold would open toward a pretend seated maker's hand; a top fold would open away from it. The maker chooses side provisionally because the outer label is easier to propose at that edge; a real user still must try. Garden drawing club: A top fold offers a possible large title across its top, while a side fold may give a long spine label. A pretend reader chooses top for a wide title; neither drawing proves the cards remain inside.
83 Travel-poster studio: Plan one side-opening folder with the wide card labelled outside; plan a top-opening folder with two large inside shape keys. Choose the first for a pretend viewer asking for WIDE; record the reason, not a find result. Music-picture journal: Plan one fold with two large word labels and another with word-plus-raised outline keys. Choose the second for a user who requests tactile orientation; actual comfort/access needs a willing user's response.
84 Theatre programme: Adult checks blunt broad paper; child proposes fold; adult/child inserts two large invented programme views if approved; a willing reader would be asked to find WIDE. With no local approval, result is NOT TRIED. Classroom weather drawings: Adult checks that two large invented sky cards are safe; a child gives a plan and a stop if paper edges bother fingers. Reader selection remains unknown without a real willing try. No weather observation is claimed.
85 Animal-mask sketch after-check: After first response, a pretend maker labels close mask detail and whole drawing separately, chooses a folder opening and asks which card a new reader would find. Neither sketch shows a real animal. Treasure-map fiction after-check: After first response, an invented close map detail needs its full fictional map beside it. A folder label “close is part” is an honest proposal; no real route or reader result follows.
86 Library table request: A pretend class asks whether it may return a teacher-provided broad picture to a shelf, with a reason that the table will be clearer. A blank answer means WAITING / NO ANSWER; nobody moves it on the card's authority. Drama prop request: A pretend group asks to place a teacher-provided paper prop back in its agreed box. The folder carries question and reason first; only an actual responsible adult could later answer, so status stays blank.
87 Story-card handoff: If school-approved, a child directs an adult to fold clean broad paper and insert two invented story cards; a willing reader is asked for WIDE. Record the actual selected card or non-selection, not a model “success.” Art-sketch handoff: With no approved material, a child draws the outside label and inside two-card plan. Mark material/reader NOT TRIED. This is still evidence of purpose and safe sequencing, but not making/testing.
88 Sport-score pictures: If a real reader selected CLOSE when asked for WIDE, moving the large WIDE label could be a useful revision; another approved find is required before calling it better. Plant-art album: If no reader has tried, a child may propose a bigger source-status label “partial view” and ask a user to locate it later. A drawn label gives no readability result or plant evidence.
89 Real classroom message book: Only if the school actually shows one, log date, permission, child-seen cover/inside feature and the user it is meant to help. Otherwise say “a person might design one” without claiming familiarity. Pretend community archive: A fictional archive folder can illustrate a large source label, but it does not satisfy evidence about a real community service. Ask what approved real item and provenance would be needed.
90 Borrowed-book request after-check: After first work, a fictional class proposes asking a librarian before moving a teacher-provided book. A folder may carry question and blank answer, but cannot authorise the move. Shared art table after-check: After first work, a fictional group asks an adult about returning a large paper picture. Plan two layouts for question and response; WAITING / NO ANSWER stays until an actual authorised reply.

Adjustment: Invite a child who wants a deeper challenge to compare how two users find the same labelled card or to specify the next real observation. Offer a child who needs a shorter language load two large labelled shapes to point at for user, feature and unknown. These are switchable access choices, not permanent learner types. A private real school situation enters only with adult approval and proper provenance.
