Learning job: Design a meaningful show/storage transformation while preserving a wanted message or picture.
Have ready: Whole paper or drawings; optional suitable broad fold/flatten action. No requirement to dismantle treasured work.
Say to the child: Can your display change shape for keeping? What would you want to keep? A stored drawing can stay a plan.
- Ask what must remain available when the display is put flat. The content can be an invented mark; no previous artifact is required.
- Capture an own show view and proposed stored view. Keep face, fold and content relationships rather than a generic tidying rule.
- Use a route. Record actual folding/flattening where observed, otherwise mark both views as plans.
- After capture, read C13/C14: one source describes a performed closing action; another only proposes a flatter form. Neither supplies the next opening result.
- Ask which step might hide a mark, damage wanted work or need a future check. Leave that question open if untested.
- Keep a specific transformation/keep step. Selected C-first components need this actual instruction plus actor/result-boundary teaching; earlier dates do not guarantee it.
Choose one route:
- Draw a show view and a flat-storage view, explaining what would stay visible or be kept.
- Perform one wanted suitable broad fold/flatten action or direct it to a helper, recording the actual operator.
- Tell a show→store→proposed show-again sequence without objects or a claimed reopening.
Look for / next teaching: Purpose-linked form transformation and accurate status. Next teach which face/content is preserved using a separate invented card.
More choices: C13/C14, H07, X07. Keep models after the first idea.
Read together:
Think about a display face and the part you want to keep. You can show a flat view without folding your real work. If somebody closes or flattens it, that is one action. It doesn’t tell us what happened on a later opening unless somebody actually records that too.
