# N24 · A dance cue and a written printer question

**A small start:** Name printing and reporting dates. Was the printer question written or only planned?

## Complete supplied source

Original fiction. A generic pretend dance cue, “pause, clap once”, was printed in2018. A record written in2019 reports that printing. The keeper wrote “Who printed this cue?” in2019; no reply is supplied. No provider choreography, cultural dance, music or learner performance is included.

## Choose your way

Tell it, sign, use AAC, point to the words, make broad marks or direct a helper. Two reachable paper spaces are enough if wanted. Start with one clue, keep it private, rest, pass or stop. A helper can read dates or source names neutrally and write the child’s exact chosen words; record any supplied idea separately. These are choices, not fixed learning styles or diagnostic labels.

**Teacher invitation:** Read each action sentence and keep its date job. The adult may read the numerals; the learner’s useful distinction matters, not date memorisation or dancing.

**One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted:** 2018 names printing the cue;2019 names reporting that printing and writing the printer question. The question was actually written in the fiction; no reply is not proof it stayed a plan. Printing is not necessarily inventing the words.

**What stays unknown:** Printer identity, reply and original composition date are unknown.

**Next teaching:** Offer an invented practice note dated2020 with no printer name. Ask which date job it adds and whether it answers the printer question.

**Keep a useful trace if needed:** chosen source/question, exact child meaning, actual helper reading/writing/moving/operation, content help and one useful next step. Missing or unoffered evidence is not a failure; a fictional action is not the child’s performance. There is no length, handwriting, speed or public-sharing requirement.
