These new public cases are not secure exams. Keep each case unseen until its day. Read the complete source neutrally; offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, large print, broad secured tactile labels or private reading without hinting at content. Capture the first independent response, access support and any content cue separately before using the teacher key. A real concern takes priority under school policy. No child must disclose a safety event, use a device, be photographed, make sound or move physically to answer.
Day 35 · fresh Case J · the Turquoise Ladder Tag
Complete fictional source. “On an invented paper classroom plan, a teacher-made TURQUOISE LADDER TAG has a square border and the words CHECK THIS WITH AN ADULT. It is placed beside a drawing of a class shelf. The illustrator writes underneath: ‘This is a practice tag. No real school sign has been inspected.’ A puppet named Neri says, ‘I do not know what a real sign near a door means at my school.’ No real school, sign, adult response or safety action is shown.”
Questions — same target through speaking, signing, AAC, pointing or private answer:
- What exact words are on the paper tag? Is it a verified real school health/safety sign? Which source line tells you?
- What should Neri do about an unclear real sign under a school-approved help route, rather than guess from this tag's border or colour?
- Can this paper case prove a child knows the purpose of a local real sign or carried out its correct action? What separate school source would be needed?
Teacher record: exact first answer, access support and content cue as FICTIONAL SOURCE/HELP REASONING. If no verified local sign is separately available and accessed, write REAL COMMUNITY SIGN NOT OBSERVED for the sign content. A real request for help receives a real response, not a score.
Day 40 · fresh Case K · the Crimson Ribbon Strip
Complete fictional source. “An invented CRIMSON RIBBON STRIP has broad paper boxes in this order: WAVE · REST | WAVE · REST | WAVE · ____. A broad STOP SQUARE lies beside the strip. Puppet Lou says, ‘Everyone must clap loudly to my drum and copy my wave.’ Puppet Vee says, ‘Invite each person to choose a safe quiet action and rest that fit; use a stop cue they can access, and accept not now.’ Nobody has made sound or moved in a real class in this story.”
Questions — same target through speaking, signing, AAC, pointing or private answer:
- What word completes the paper A–B strip after its last WAVE? What can the STOP SQUARE do to the plan?
- Which puppet offers a fairer invitation? What should happen if someone answers “not now” or asks to stop?
- Does the strip prove any child performed a movement or followed a rule in real play? What separate local evidence would be needed?
Teacher record: exact first answer, access support and content cue as FICTIONAL PATTERN/RULE REASONING. If an optional actual activity is separately approved, chosen and observed, date its exact child action, setting, rule and supports; otherwise PHYSICAL ACTIVITY NOT OBSERVED. A correct paper continuation alone is not HPE movement evidence.
