Offer a route as a choice today; change it tomorrow if useful. Each route keeps that day's goal, exact source label and first-response evidence. Voice, sign, AAC, pointing, gaze, drawing and child-directed adult scribing are equally valid when they communicate the target. A large-print or tactile paper model remains paper. For actual views, keep the adult safety/source gate. “Not visible” is a valid observation limit, never a deficit.
Day 141
- Look and point: Point at N1's rounded leaf outline and N3's pointed ear outline; choose FICTIONAL MODEL for both.
- Listen and arrange: Hear the exact N1/N3 description, place two broad secured feature labels beside their drawings and say that no actual organism was viewed.
- Tell or scribe: Dictate “In this drawing I notice…; the paper cannot show…” for one mark on each figure.
Day 142
- Move with an adult: Direct the adult to put N3 and N4 in the two named outline bins; keep the rule visible.
- Mark a grid: Draw one point symbol for N2/N3 and one curve symbol for N1/N4, then read all four labels.
- Explain aloud: Say or sign the one rule first, name each picture under it and leave an unclear mark waiting.
Day 143
- Safe view: If four approved distinct sources exist, point to an exact visible feature in each without touching and direct the adult to write source/date.
- Photo and provenance: For an approved actual-animal photo, use zoom or an exact adult description, label PHOTO or ADULT REPORT honestly and record only visible features.
- Model fallback: If sources are unavailable, work through N1–N4 as FICTIONAL MODEL and say REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
Day 144
- Find the breaker: Point to N2's pointed leaf mark and its invented PLANT DRAWING label as the counterexample to “every pointed drawing is an animal.”
- Three-box board: Dictate first rule, N2 plus source, then a smaller statement that pointiness alone cannot settle the author's label.
- Act the reasoning: Hold up a fixed point card for N2/N3 and two different author-label cards; explain why shape and label differ without claiming real biology.
Day 145
- Independent speech or sign: Hear the unrehearsed case exactly and give first response without a leading category cue.
- Independent selection: Choose large fixed feature/category/source labels, then direct an adult to record why a label is a counterexample.
- Independent AAC/drawing: Show the rule, conflicting case and real-evidence limit in chosen symbols; adult records exact first selection and any neutral reread.
Day 146
- Two mats: Make a pointed/rounded model sort, then a stem-and-leaf/leg-mark sort; name both rules before comparing.
- Voice compare: Say which N figure changes group when the question changes and which drawn marks stayed fixed.
- Tactile map: Explore secured broad raised outlines, direct two adult sorts with spoken source labels and explain that paper marks did not change.
Day 147
- Caption repair: Replace “no roots” with “roots not visible in this drawing” for N1's cut-off bottom.
- Frame gesture: Cover a broad fixed lower rectangle without hiding small objects; say what the view leaves unknown and request a safer fuller view.
- Question maker: Dictate a neutral next-source question about a real plant without pulling, digging or claiming a hidden root.
Day 148
- Genuine view route: Give a prediction before the approved new view, then record later exact visible feature, timing and source.
- Opt-out route: Choose NO PREDICTION or decline the view; record CANNOT COMPARE while still naming a source limitation.
- Model rehearsal: Predict one N drawing mark before its paper reveal, compare model words later and explicitly say this is not an actual investigation.
Day 149
- Private talk: Tell a willing adult the source, one feature rule, N2 counterexample and one remaining unknown.
- Visual strip: Direct an adult to fill six broad boxes with the same bounded claim; record actual listener reply or NONE.
- AAC/sign share: Choose source and counterexample symbols, communicate a revised sentence and decide whether any reply should be retained.
Day 150
- Independent talk: Respond to the new case with a rule, counterexample, unclear view and safe real-source next step.
- Independent broad cards: Direct placement of the unrehearsed figures into feature-seen/not-visible/unclear fields, then indicate the author-label conflict.
- Independent AAC/scribe: Compose a source-labelled bounded claim with no coached feature answer; retain first choice and access supports.
