Keep these complete cases unseen in daily lessons, learner routes, worked swaps and print aids until the first independent response. They are public for educator audit but teacher-held in use. Read every word literally, or offer the exact broad secured tactile, AAC, braille or large-print content below. Log exact first words/signs/selections, access and any neutral reread before feedback. A leading material hint is no longer independent. Both cases are FICTIONAL PAPER MODELS, not genuine samples or interviews. If no separate approved dated inspection occurred, write REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE. A paper response cannot itself establish actual AC9SFI02 safe investigation, a local material property, full achievement standard or measured progress.
Day 135 · fresh Case AD
Complete held source: “FICTIONAL PAPER CASE AD — TRIANGLE PANEL 64. One large invented triangle is drawn in two regions. The LEFT region has FOUR LARGE DOTS. The RIGHT region has THREE ZIGZAG LINES. A dark border separates them. There is no real triangle object, back view, maker note, source of material, local date or touch. A printed caption says, ‘The dotted side is fabric and the zigzag side is card, so this is a real two-material sign.’” Only the pictured marks and regions are supported; the material identity and real-object claim are not.
Exact nonvisual/tactile equivalent: read the whole quotation. Offer one large secured triangle outline with a central dividing line; four broad fixed dot discs at left and three broad fixed raised zigzag strips at right. Read LEFT/RIGHT and the printed caption separately. The tactile card remains FICTIONAL PAPER CASE, not a real material sample.
First independent prompts: (1) “What is actually shown on the left and right of this picture?” (2) “Does this picture or caption verify fabric/card or a real two-material sign? Why?” (3) “What safe, approved, dated object view and maker/product source could help answer a smaller material question?”
Private record strip: exact first response ; access/neutral reread ; depicted marks/regions ; material/source unknown ; caption overclaim identified ; safe next source question ; next teaching step after key ___.
Day 140 · fresh Case AE
Complete held source: “FICTIONAL PAPER CASE AE — PATCH NOTE 91. An imaginary maker labels three pretend broad patches. P is a paper-based card patch with TWO WIDE DOTS drawn on its front. Q is a woven cloth patch with TWO WIDE DOTS drawn on its front. R is a woven cloth patch with NO DOTS drawn on its front. The imaginary maker says those material words in the story; no real school patches, actual maker, date, material packaging or child's direct view exist. A printed rule says, ‘Every dotted patch is cloth, and every cloth patch has dots.’” The dots are drawn features. The material labels are attributed fictional maker information, not verified classroom facts.
Exact nonvisual/tactile equivalent: read the full source. Prepare three broad fixed P/Q/R paper panels in order. Put two large secured raised dot circles on P, two on Q and none on R. Attach separate MODEL MAKER SAYS CARD to P and MODEL MAKER SAYS CLOTH to Q/R. Read the printed rule after all three source lines; do not pre-sort.
First independent prompts: (1) “Sort P, Q and R by the one stated drawn feature: dots or no dots. Which maker-labelled materials are in each group?” (2) “Does the printed rule survive P and R? What can this fictional note say, and what can it not say about real material samples?” (3) “What could you tell a private listener, and what approved real source/date/view would you need next?”
Private record strip: exact first response ; access/neutral reread ; one-property bins ; P and R counterexamples ; attributed maker label/source ; model versus actual ; safe next source question ; next teaching step after key .
