Goal: compare when two fictional events happen using both the named day and stated part of day. Proposed code: AC9MFM02. Prepare: Card 113, garden-paper display cards, seven-day strip.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Child orders Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday and identifies Tuesday's place; adult reads labels as needed.
- Model · 4 min. Read: “The imagined class makes garden labels Tuesday afternoon; it shows them Friday morning.” Put both event markers on the week strip.
- Guide · 5 min. Children trace Tuesday → Wednesday → Thursday → Friday, then say the Tuesday event occurred earlier in this story.
- Independent try · 7 min. Offer the separate puzzle-project finish: Wednesday lunchtime see puzzle; Wednesday afternoon put pieces away. Child orders the two part-of-day events and names the source clue.
- Transfer · 4 min. Compare garden-paper display with quiet book sign from Materials; ask whether the week strip tells what the children's families celebrate. Expect no.
- Exit · 2 min. Ask for one true earlier/later sentence with a named day or part. If the reason is only “that card is on the left,” change the card layout tomorrow.
