Day 43 · Right place, right time
Useful job: Check whether a weather message fits the chosen job's place and time. Target: ask a relevant source question and compare scope; AC9S1I01/I04/I05/I06, H01 for forecast use.
Source/preparation: Complete C05 and C06. Spoken story-time labels are enough; clocks, place names and calendar reading are not assessed. These places are fictional, not locations to visit.
Six moves: (1) Read C05's two differently placed messages and the indoor story job. (2) Invite which message could help that particular question and why. (3) Model with C06: an issue time is when the message was supplied; its forecast period concerns a different future interval. (4) Offer a route below using the whole selected source. (5) Ask for one relevant time/place check or remaining uncertainty rather than a checklist quota. (6) Retain unused information as information about its own place/time, not necessarily false.
Route 43.1 · Suitcase of labels
Child chooses C05's target job and packs only its matching place/time label into an imaginary suitcase. Explain why the other place's report does not settle this job's weather question. The child may direct the packing without lifting or cutting.
Say: “Which label travels with this job?”
Route 43.2 · Yesterday's news desk
Read C06. Child separates the earlier issue tag from the later period tag, then asks whether a newer message is available. Adult answers only “Not supplied in this story.” Do not invent a newer forecast or say the old one is certainly wrong.
Say: “When was it made? Which time does it talk about?”
Route 43.3 · Send back one good question
Use C05 to dictate/sign/draw a reply to the imaginary publisher: ask for the chosen story place's job-time information. Add a note that the other place's clue can still be useful for another question. No real message is sent.
Say: “What would you ask before using this clue?”
Small check/next: Chooses scope relevant to the actual question; not merely “newest is always best”. Use C06 if issue/period are confused, C05 if one town's record is universalised. Exit: “What detail would make this message more useful?”
