N02 · The pond-drawing response
Entry
Use the original component response only to choose a teaching need; do not replay the held answer as the new lesson. Offer the complete new source aloud and usual communication. A pupil can enter without passing the original component.
Purpose
Teach the same named language/reading/composition idea in a genuinely different fictional situation, with help recorded.
Full new source
In a fictional pond-picture club, a maker chooses a wide paper border or a narrow paper border for a drawing. The supplied response is, ‘I choose the wide border because I have room for a title.’ A separate note says the maker has not tested the border outdoors. The source does not describe real ponds or living things. The teacher reads the whole answer. A report should preserve the choice and its stated reason, rather than add waterproofing or strength.
First invitation
Report the supplied choice and reason accurately.
Notice together · 3–5 minutes
Read the complete new source, name its useful reader/story/editing job, and ask the new invitation. Give time for an attempted answer before showing a model. Point to the exact relevant meaning rather than announcing a score.
Show and explain · 4–7 minutes
‘The maker chose the wide paper border because there is room for a title.’ keeps the two stated parts. Compare the child’s idea with the supplied details. Explain how the named language feature does the job. If the first answer was already supported, accept another plausible source-grounded version instead of demanding the model’s exact words.
Try a different supplied situation · 5–10 minutes
Introduce and read the complete guided-practice source: A pretend toy train display offers a folded label stand and a flat label. Its supplied maker response is, ‘I choose the folded stand because the name faces the visitor.’ No real station or engineering fact is supplied. Then ask: Write a new report of the label choice and reason; check both parts against the source. Let the child speak, point, dictate, arrange or write; leave the work space empty until they respond.
Review and choose a next attempt · 3–5 minutes
Use the guided example after the attempt: ‘The maker chose the folded stand because the name faces the visitor.’ is supported. Ask the child which word or source detail supports their answer. Keep the work and the help note. Offer a new ordinary attempt later if useful; do not reuse this taught response as an unseen assessment.
Separate complete guided situation
A pretend toy train display offers a folded label stand and a flat label. Its supplied maker response is, ‘I choose the folded stand because the name faces the visitor.’ No real station or engineering fact is supplied.
Guided invitation
Write a new report of the label choice and reason; check both parts against the source.
Staff examples after an attempt
‘The maker chose the wide paper border because there is room for a title.’ keeps the two stated parts.
‘The maker chose the folded stand because the name faces the visitor.’ is supported.
Ways to take part
- Adult reads both whole new sources; child explains through usual communication. Independent decoding is not inferred.
- Use labelled object/sentence cards made from the supplied new situation; child chooses and explains, with no prefilled own answer.
- Write or draw in a true blank area. Observe spelling, joined handwriting or oral delivery separately when those are actually taught and observed.
Duration and review
15–30 minutes across sittings, unpiloted; shorten while preserving the language purpose.
This is a teaching offer with a source-specific model and a separate guided situation, not an automatic diagnosis, remediation guarantee, official band or measured gain. Record what the pupil produced and which assistance was used.
