A waiting-place sketch
An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.
Have a go
- Draw or describe an own place where a broad cue could wait.
- Tell a proposed return step without dismantling treasured work.
- Keep the sketch as a plan unless an actual return happens.
Example and reasoning
A maker draws a place where an own cue could wait. No physical part was returned or used. Ask which step is proposed. The sketch communicates an intended reset; it is not an actual return event. Next help: label the actor/action as proposed, then offer a wanted ordinary arrangement if locally suitable.
Grown-up help
Offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, drawing, faithful dictation, usual home-language support when competent, private work, pause, rest or finish. Ask one part at a time and keep its meaning. No partner, winner, score, time limit or fixed response length is required. Use only locally suitable broad whole paper/card, a checked marking tool and a stable comfortable table. A helper may act exactly as directed; keep the child's idea and the actual operator's action separate. Record an actual event only when it happened. A missing record can mean unknown; it does not establish that no action happened. A supplied story remains fiction.
Show the worked reasoning after an offered own idea where useful. This context is not a held first/later source.
