The teacher reads the exact source and question. The child may draw, direct broad prepared marks, point, sign, use AAC or dictate. An adult records the child's exact choice and actual handler without offering a cue or reason. Both sources are wholly imaginary and appear for the first time here. This copy has no answer. Keep the educator key separately. These are short formative samples, not a secure examination or term grade.
Check Q · Day 45 · Imaginary seed-pod cart
Source: An invented story cart has a long flat tray, one big oval pod box on it, and a hook-shaped handle at one end. No real cart or plant was observed. The maker wants to create a small art card about this imaginary cart.
Your art task: Choose one part you want someone to notice. Show two different art ideas for making that same part stand out. You may name colours, but each idea needs a clue that still works if the page has no colour. Choose one idea and tell why. Use the large blank page, another blank page, or exact words. There is no required colour or single correct part.
MY CHOSEN PART: ______________________
IDEA 1: colour name if used ____ ; other finding clue __________
IDEA 2: colour name if used ____ ; other finding clue __________
THE IDEA I CHOOSE: 1 / 2
WHY I CHOOSE IT FOR THIS PART: ________________________________

The blank fields are for a child or neutral scribe. A described plan is valid idea evidence and stays labelled plan only unless made. No viewer response is claimed.
Check R · Day 50 · Imaginary station clock
Source: An adult's fictional first sketch shows a large round station clock face on a plain page. A small triangular pointer sits inside it. The first sketch says “blue face”; it has no other cue on the face. This is a made-up picture, not a real station clock, timetable, sign or child's earlier work.
Your art task: Choose a part you want a viewer to find. Show a now version. Keep or change at least one feature of the supplied first draft and say why. You may choose a different colour, the same colour, or no colour; give the chosen part another independent finding clue. Use the large blank page or exact words. There is no required colour and no claim that a real viewer saw it.
