# Day 198 · Keep, change, or leave a question

**Learning job:** Evaluate a specific form/material feature and communicate a chosen revision without assumed improvement.

**Have ready:** Own actual work or a new plan; optional suitable action; no compulsory redesign.

**Say to the child:** Pick a part you like, want to change, or want to ask about. Why? A change does not have to happen.

1. Ask for one feature to keep, change or question. Accept a preference, a purpose connection or a real event reason.
2. Save an original/changed view honestly. Do not fabricate an earlier design when none was retained.
3. Choose a route to mark a proposed revision or carry out a wanted suitable change. Keep actual actors.
4. After capture, compare C15’s keep decision with C16’s changed but untried wider-base proposal.
5. If a recheck is wanted, agree the same question and record changed material, location, operator or support. A preference does not need an experiment.
6. Keep the reason and unknown effect. If “better” is unsupported, ask what job or preference the new feature is meant to serve; teach that relationship with a different display.

**Choose one route:**

- Annotate or point to an own feature to keep or change and explain why.
- Direct one suitable broad-part change to a willing helper, retaining their action and your reason.
- Compare two own word/sign/AAC descriptions and keep a useful feature without objects.

**Look for / next teaching:** Specific feature→reason evaluation; observed change separately from hoped effect. Next teach purpose/reason using an unrelated pretend label.

**More choices:** C15/C16, H08, X08. Keep models after the first idea.

**Read together:**

Keeping a good part is a design decision too. You can like a shape without saying it worked for everyone. If you change a fold or a face, tell us what you hope the change will help. We’ll only call the new result observed if somebody actually checked it.
