Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Staff copy. For each child, record the form, actual action, chosen visual/sound/movement/drama element, feedback, access route and next change. I/P/R/N mean independent/after specific prompt/repair/not yet observed. A plan can be worthwhile, but do not score performed, played, media-technology-used or shared unless it happened. No public performance or filming of children is required. New Day 15/20 visual tasks are distinct from the first fortnight's tool label.

Day/form Evidence to look for Next move
11 Dance Three-part expressive sequence with discernible turn/pause if moved; optional informal share observed. If a paper path is the only sample, offer a safe seated/partner-directed enactment later; do not mark performance.
12 Drama Two plausible fictional interpretations, role/gesture/voice/puppet choice, precise repair; share only if observed. If the scene only states the answer, ask how each character felt/thought in the fictional situation without requiring personal disclosure.
13 Media Arts Two meaningfully different frames/captions; actual offline tool use and responsible capture if observed. If paper-only, record storyboard planning and offer approved tool trial later; no technology claim.
14 Music Four pulses including audible rest, changed rest and listener comparison if actually sounded. If only notation, invite low-volume partner playback or AAC-directed sound later; keep sensory choice.
15 Visual Arts Three original, distinct shape/line symbols with labels; user-test response and one revision if done. If symbols differ only by colour, test grayscale/tactile recognition and vary shape/line.
16 Dance Straight/curved pathway or level change made in an actual expressive phrase; intended difference named. If physical route not safe, retain plan and seek approved accessible route later; do not force movement.
17 Drama Fictional problem and response shown through role, dialogue/gesture/puppet; count of 10 conserved. If maths is right but no dramatic action, invite one character reaction and one reply.
18 Media Arts Two labelled technology-made frames show 1 ten = 10 ones without a false growth impression; informal viewer share if observed. If frame hides pieces, revise crop/label. Paper-only sequence remains plan evidence.
19 Music Actual four-pulse call/response with one repeat and one contrast, listener can identify it; quiet volume. If sequence drifts, use tactile pulse markers and replay slowly; no volume pressure.
20 Visual Arts Imaginary sign uses original symbol/arrow/text hierarchy; viewer interprets and learner revises if needed. If viewer misreads, ask which mark was noticed first and change layout/size, then test again.

Band/coverage limit: These are selected partial links to official Years 1 and 2 Arts descriptions. Exploration, creation and informal presentation are separate actions. We do not claim cultural-engagement codes or First Nations examples because no authorised source is supplied. Paper, silence or unshared work must be recorded honestly rather than upgraded to an observed performance.
