Choose one after the main lesson; Days 5/10 swaps are after the fresh check. All example descriptions here are invented paper models for reasoning. Their worked answers are about marks/text in those examples, never proof that a real object behaved that way. A teacher may substitute an actually safe local object after preflight and record the actual source/date/result instead of copying a model answer.
| Day | Worked swap A | Worked swap B | Look for / teacher move |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fictional library label: a drawn broad rectangle has a short black line across its centre. Answer: line/rectangle are drawn; whether a real cover has a seam is unknown. Ask “Would this actual cover have that line?” | Fictional garden-tool card: drawing has one oval inside a large square. Answer: the page shows two outlines; it does not show the real tool's weight or material. | Child distinguishes described marks from a real feature and asks a checkable question. |
| 2 | Fictional theatre cloth card: text says “a picture of folded cloth” but no actual swatch. Answer: fold is drawn; felt softness is not established. | Fictional paper parcel: picture shows a rectangle with a dotted edge. Answer: dotted mark is visible on paper; tear strength is untested. | To describe actual material, supply a preflighted real source and record access/feature. |
| 3 | Invented book-flap log: first box “I think it may bend”; second box left blank. Answer: this is prediction only, result NOT TESTED. | Invented craft sheet log: first box “it may stay flat”; second says “adult lifted one edge; sheet curved during this try”. Answer: prediction differed from this reported model result; still not local data. | Child keeps before/after fields apart and does not penalise a changed idea. |
| 4 | Fictional puppet sign: drawing shows a large rectangle and attached oval panel; caption labels backing cardboard, panel fabric. Answer: caption gives claimed materials; drawing alone cannot verify them. | Fictional transport token holder: outlined outer tray and inner paper label. Answer: two parts are represented; actual hidden material/texture unknown until a source is checked. | Ask which part label came from verified preparation and which feature was actually sensed. |
| 5 | After check only, fictional wide bookmark: one drawn notched edge. Answer: notch is shown; no real bookmark was tested. | After check only, fictional display folder: title says “cardboard”, picture shows a curve. Answer: title is a source claim; no local object/date or bend observation is present. | New practice stays separate from the held source. |
| 6 | Fictional aquarium sign: a big oval under two short lines. Answer: these marks do not prove water, glass or a real aquarium. | Fictional bus shelter plan: a rectangle with a circle mark inside. Answer: circle may be symbol, print or cutout; drawing alone cannot decide. | Say MODEL CARD/DRAWING SHOWS before asking about material. |
| 7 | Fictional map key: ▭ means “straight edge drawn”, ◯ “curved edge drawn”. Answer: a curved mark beside an oval picture is consistent for the drawing, not evidence of a real object. | Fictional art-wall record: ? beside an object's back. Answer: back not checked; ? does not mean the back is rough or smooth. |
Child explains key in words/AAC/tactile and names what is unknown. |
| 8 | Invented sample table: two model cards each have one straight edge drawn. Answer: the two pictures share that mark; no real-object pattern is evidenced. | Invented model try table: paper item A “bent in model”, B “did not bend in model”. Answer: model cases differ; no rule for all paper follows, and this is not a local test. | With real dated comparable logs, child may state a limited local pattern; otherwise insufficient evidence. |
| 9 | Fictional museum caption: “This diagram shows a large oval.” Answer: source-bounded; “the actual object is soft” would be an overclaim. | Fictional workshop message: “I wonder if a wide sheet will bend.” Answer: a question, not a tested result; show a listener which source would be needed. | Any actual listener response is logged verbatim; a teacher puppet reply is MODEL. |
| 10 | After check only, fictional weather board: two parallel straight lines and a small square. Answer: exact marks can be named; no real rain or temperature recorded. | After check only, fictional theatre set plan: triangle inside rectangle. Answer: shape/position shown; no real prop material or stability known. | Keep fresh held model's different marks and real-object source separate. |
Home/educator extension: Ask “What can this drawing tell us?” then, if a safe actual object is available and permitted, “What do we now observe, and how will we record that source?” The second answer must come from the actual object/date. No device, buying, child photo, family disclosure or forced touch is required. Original SubjectNest supplementary models © 2026 NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd, CC BY 4.0.
