Goal: explain how sequence and headings organise Card B. Teacher says: “Find the heading a reader would look for if the room became crowded.”

Routes: write numbered steps with a quoted heading; arrange four heading cards and give a spoken explanation recorded in notes; annotate the source with arrows and one caption per stage. Alternative domains: Day 2 swaps. Optional/home: reorganise an invented four-step activity, such as a book display; do not use this exercise to override real safety procedures. Move: when students treat headings as decoration, remove the heading and ask how long the crowd instruction now takes to find.
