Useful outcome: Build a small question-led exhibit with source-labelled items.
Prepare: Chosen O1–O8/F card and child's actual kept work if any; two sheets; blank collection mat.
Partial opportunities: AC9HS1S01, AC9HS1S02, AC9HS1S03, AC9HS1S04, AC9HS1S05, AC9HS1S06. Refer to whole authority and explicit limits in the linked curriculum scope; opportunity is not observed mastery.
-
Start ·3: Read child invitation I09 in the ordinary source menu. Invite a wanted useful product. Offer private work, rest, pass, stop or another route.
-
Source/model ·5: A fresh invented recipe folder keeps handwritten 2016 and typed 2024 sources on separate labels, with a shared question. Adult demonstration stays separate from child evidence.
-
Guided source work ·part of 10: Choose a manageable two-item collection and a real question it helps answer. Model on an unrelated invented recipe folder: one card says handwritten 2016; another says typed 2024. A useful heading connects the items while each label retains its own source.
-
Own useful work ·rest of 10: Child makes/describes two source-labelled entries, a chosen sorting rule/question, one supported connection and one unknown/follow-up. For one factual item alone, make a careful one-item catalogue rather than invent a comparison. Keep public-source facts, supplied fiction and actual today work visibly distinct.
-
Compare ·5: Offer an optional private find task: which source supports the selected detail? Child self-check or a willing reader's actual reply is enough. Record only a task actually attempted; revise at child direction. Public display, filming and performance are unnecessary.
-
Notice and teach next ·2: If source disappears in decoration, use fresh invented tool labels giving item/source/date/job/detail. If organisation is arbitrary, choose a question then test the heading against one entry before adding more.
Three ways to take part
(a) Tabletop pop-up collection: Arrange reachable paper entries and broad heading; child chooses the route through them.
(b) Tiny collection booklet: Fold two pre-folded sheets or dictate a linear two-entry account, including the open question.
(c) Local bench preview: Use nine empty manual fields and linear preview to assemble a transient collection note; keep a wanted paper copy before leaving.
All routes retain the access/attribution/stop choices above. Observe: An actual question-led sourced account with a useful connection/unknown and attributed authorship.
Extra contexts: C17/C18; home: H09; optional larger making: X09; written read-aloud: N09. Full source/own/staff separation follows the linked assessment selection guidance.
Complete selected sources
O1 — The play-clue tray
Original fiction, three description cards recorded 2026. ItemP is a rectangular paper path with four broad spaces; its card says players choose a space in turns. ItemQ is a cloth square with a stitched star; its card does not describe how it was used. ItemR is a wooden wheel-shaped piece; its card says it was part of a toy cart. No card names a maker, owner or making date. The descriptions are supplied text, not a child's observation or an image of a real collection. These items can help a material question; the maker is unknown.
O4 — Sort for the job
Original fiction, play-folder descriptions written 2026. Folded Path: paper, a turn-taking path game. Story Patch: cloth, used to tell a pretend story without a recorded turn rule. Picture Pair: paper, a matching game with turns. Mystery Board: material not stated, used for a turn-taking guessing game. No manufacture dates are supplied. Under a paper-material question, Folded Path and Picture Pair fit; Mystery Board belongs in material-unknown, not automatically non-paper. Under a turns question, Folded Path, Picture Pair and Mystery Board fit; Story Patch has no described turn rule, rather than proof no storyteller ever used turns. The two question/rule sorts need different honest group headings.
