These are three ways to show the same daily evidence, not three difficulty tracks. Any student may mix visual, tactile, spoken, typed and quiet-text routes. Reading or handwriting ability is considered separately from observation and justification. A neutral scribe records a learner's art decisions verbatim. On fresh checks, record source reading/motor access separately from content coaching.

Day Looking/drawing route Material/tactile route Speak/type route
1 Draw A and label two visible features plus one “I read this as…” inference. Trace A's long edge and fold with raised strips; position two observation labels and one inference card. Describe two locatable features and dictate a possible reading, clearly marked as interpretation.
2 Sketch A from two viewpoints, circling changed visibility and underlining one stable feature. Rotate a folded blank card or move tactile view cards, then mark changed/stable features. Tell a scribe which feature is visible from each viewpoint and what remains the same.
3 Make continuous and broken-line trials on the same fold; annotate spacing/emphasis. Lay one continuous string and short separated strips along the same diagonal; state different emphasis. Dictate two precise mark recipes and explain which would direct attention to the fold.
4 Draw two crops of A, select one and name one visible gain and loss. Slide a cut-free paper window over the original aid; record two positions by paper corners. Describe two frame boundaries, choose one, and name what it reveals and hides.
5 With new G, make two lens thumbnails and observation/choice/possible reading/limit note. Build/trace G's new arch with labelled strips and choose a raised/flat alteration; give the same note. Dictate a precise two-view plan from G and the same observation, choice, reading and limit.
6 Compare pencil contour and torn-paper low relief, documenting a material cause. Lay flat and lifted clean paper strips on A's diagonal; feel/locate the edge and explain effect. Describe two material constructions precisely and why one changes attention; teacher records intent.
7 Read the QAGOMA record/capsule; sort fact/interpretation/question and draw an independent A choice. Place three source-type cards, then arrange an original A crop with plain strips. Dictate source facts with attribution and a new A decision; say why it does not imitate the artwork.
8 Make recognisable and reduced versions of A; annotate observed trace and removed detail. Build one full silhouette and one reduced arrangement with neutral strips; label trace and removal. Dictate two visual recipes from A, one figurative and one less so, plus the intended emphasis.
9 Draw three frames, choose order and write F's four-part folio trace. Arrange three labelled view cards; select an earlier trial and place four process cards. Dictate frame order and the four-part trace, adding a source citation if consulted.
10 With new H, make three-frame response, choose a lens, and justify observation/reading/limit/next test. Arrange H's new shapes and three tactile frames; narrate same choices and evidence. Dictate three-frame visual instructions and a complete process/meaning/limit/next-test note.

No route asks for a diagnosis or promises that one mode uniquely suits a kind of learner. If a learner changes route, keep their first idea and continue the same target.
