# Two fresh public formative checks · learner copy

Low-stakes checks guide next teaching. Keep the [educator key](teacher/KEY-AND-NEXT.md) away from first responses. Broad fixed LOW/HIGH cards, raised two-level rails, direction cards, drawing, pointing, AAC, neutral reading/scribing and pass are available. No device, hearing, singing, movement, real scene or audience is required. Optional locally approved sound follows an independent score response and is observed separately.

## Check S · three joins

**Day 65.** [S A4 SVG](check/fresh-s.svg) · [S A4 PDF](check/fresh-s.pdf) · [exact text/tactile route](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md). This new four-place score reads **HIGH LOW LOW HIGH**. At the three joins, compare place **1 with 2**, **2 with 3**, and **3 with 4**. For each join, choose **SAME**, **UP**, or **DOWN** in that order. Show the complete three-card reader key or an equivalent child-explained path. These are relative pitch labels, not a request to sing or change volume.

**Save first:** ordered three joins, which pairs were compared, explanation and response route. Do not model the direction answer before saving. A correct picture does not show aural pitch recognition.

## Check T · change the last pitch

**Day 70.** [T A4 SVG](check/fresh-t.svg) · [T A4 PDF](check/fresh-t.pdf) · [exact text/tactile route](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md). New source: **HIGH LOW HIGH HIGH** at numbered places 1–4. Keep **places 1, 2 and 3** exactly. In a second version, change **place 4 from HIGH to LOW**. Show all four pitch labels in the revised version, point to the one changed place, then choose SAME, UP or DOWN for the **new join from 3 to 4**. No one must produce the tones.

**Save first:** complete revised four-place score, one changed place, final-join direction, explanation and route. A paper revision cannot prove heard, played or shared music.
