Useful job: Keep a wanted notice with an honest source label and an open next question. Target: own question/communication; actual suitable perception and followed steps may additionally sample AC9S1I02/I03. Paper interpretation cannot fill those actual-practical components.
Source/preparation: C07/C08 complete indoor fallback, or one actual locally suitable familiar view from an ordinary indoor position. Adult checks current conditions, existing access arrangements and suitability; child need not identify weather, make equipment or go near a window. An actual source may be simply “I noticed no drops on that visible pane at this time”, not “no rain anywhere”.
Six moves: (1) Ask what small feature/question is wanted; offer an actual view, attributed adult description or the full paper scene. (2) Agree only the selected appropriate steps, including finish/pause, before an actual view. (3) Let the child perceive if accessible, record in their usual mode or direct a faithful helper. (4) Attribute adult aid operation, perception, description and writing separately. (5) Keep the later area empty unless a genuinely available later view/report is selected at a suitable sitting. (6) Use C08 if roles are muddled; actual conduct/observation stays unelicited for an unperformed route.
Route 44.1 · Look, notice, finish
From the ordinary adult-selected indoor position, child notices one already accessible weather-related feature, asks a question or records it, then finishes. Do not watch the Sun, approach hazards, open windows or seek dramatic weather. “Unchanged” or “I couldn't tell” is useful.
Say: “One small notice is enough. What would you like to keep?”
Route 44.2 · Describe what I asked about
Child directs a willing adult to describe one selected feature. Ask whether the child perceived it too. Adult-only description is labelled report; the child's question and interpretation remain theirs. A description is not a trick for manufacturing child observation.
Say: “Tell your helper which clue you want described.”
Route 44.3 · Paper weather window
Read C07 in full. Child makes a caption about its drawn pane, then asks what cannot be known beyond that view. No live sensor or actual weather is claimed from a picture. Use C08 to keep question, looking and writing labels distinct.
Say: “What does this paper window show? What is outside its story?”
Small check/next: A bounded notice/question with accurate source/actor attribution. If no-drops becomes no-rain-everywhere, use C07's stated view limit. For adult report credited as child perception, use C08. Exit: “Would you like a next question, or are you done?”
