Child invitation
Describe each outline with two separate labels and explain what changed.
Guided different context
Build two paper tower outlines with same drawn height and different widths.
Mode opportunity
This is supported teaching after review. Actual performing, reasoning about supplied stories and model construction are recorded separately. New-context transfer is a small observed step, not annual mastery or a new official grade.
Next decision
If the named distinction is still unclear, return to two source-labelled cards in this unrelated context and one prompt at a time. If clear, offer a different job/source after further learning; do not retry this held case with the staff model rehearsed.
Observable next evidence
Child keeps two descriptive categories separate; no sound claim or physical measurement is inferred.
Ordinary possible model
Tall is not a substitute for wide.
Teacher preparation
Full account/model and a separate blank child page; cards or paper drawings as named in the guided context. Offer pointing/AAC/exact scribing and quiet helper operation. No source collection or public publication is required.
Teacher sequence
- Read the complete new account and ask which event/reference is actually supplied before showing its ordinary model.
- Model tall/narrow with first source, guide same-height/different-width choice, then let child describe a new outline in their own mode.
- Guide the different new context above using an open question. After child chooses, pause so they can author/select/draw their own evidence distinction; the model answer stays a teaching example, never inserted into their own work.
- Invite the child to explain one exact clue and one limit in the new task. Keep actual events, supplied stories and unperformed plans labelled. Use the observable check below to choose whether to revisit this meaning or offer a genuinely fresh task later.
Title
Tower height and width
Whole unrelated teaching account
A fictional block tower is tall/narrow; another is short/wide. These words answer different shape questions.
