# Source set and preparation

## Fictional Paper Courtyard Archive · practice only

- **Source A, labelled drawing:** the **LOW SHELF** is left, **BLUE MAT** centre, and **SHADE SQUARE** above a **SEAT** at right. These are page-relative picture labels, not a real site plan or measured dimensions. [A4 drawing](print/courtyard-drawing.pdf).
- **Source B, written notice:** invented Bea, described only as a pretend caretaker, writes, “Return large picture cards to the LOW SHELF after use.” It is an invented instruction, not evidence anyone complied or that this is a real school rule. No date is supplied. [A4 notice](print/caretaker-notice.pdf).
- **Source C, attributed preference:** invented Ari says, “I like the shade square for looking at cards.” This is Ari's invented view only.
- **Source D, attributed preference:** invented Ren says, “I like the blue mat for laying out cards.” This is Ren's invented view only. [A4 view cards](print/visitor-views.pdf).

The terms *drawing*, *notice*, *speaker*, *feature*, *source*, *question*, *view*, *proposal* and *unknown* are taught with these exact cards. The drawing does not establish that shade changes temperature, that anyone used the seat, or that a place is safe or accessible. The notice does not establish a result. A preference is not a survey. No real species, plant, community member or First Nations knowledge is represented.

## Prepare before any session

Print the [source drawing](print/courtyard-drawing.pdf), [notice](print/caretaker-notice.pdf), [views](print/visitor-views.pdf), [feature/source sort](print/feature-source-sort.pdf), [question/source trail](print/question-source-trail.pdf) and [care-decision mat](print/care-decision-mat.pdf) as needed. Use the [full text and tactile-equivalent directions](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md) if visual print is unsuitable. Large hand-drawn boxes and read-aloud source text work without a printer. Avoid small loose pieces; point to or draw broad fields rather than cutting cards. Digital access, recording and cameras are not needed.

Use one teacher clipboard row per child: day, fictional source used, child response in own words or pointing reference, route/support supplied, and one next move. Keep it under school privacy rules; do not upload it to this public pack. Real school observations follow [LOCAL-SOURCE-INSERT.md](LOCAL-SOURCE-INSERT.md), and are optional. No home purchase or family interview is required.

On Days 25 and 30, use the independent [student checks](STUDENT-CHECKS.md) and corresponding [A4 source cards](print/check-a-window-board.pdf), [Check B](print/check-b-colour-panel.pdf). Keep the public teacher key out of learner handouts until first responses are collected. If prior access matters, replace the fictional check cases with locally authored equivalents; the public checks are not secure.
