# Which date means what?

A date can tell us different things. Which thing does this one tell us?

1. Read or hear the [made-up record](../ordinary/O12.html). Keep its label with your work.
2. Pick one way below. You can speak, sign, use AAC, draw or direct someone’s hands.
3. Show a clue and an open question. Sharing is optional; pause when you need to.

## Choose a way

### 1

**Date envelopes:** deliver each date token to EVENT or WRITTEN; leave CHECKED empty until actually checked.

### 2

**Radio reader:** read/dictate the two sentences in different order while a partner identifies each date's job; no recording.

### 3

**Notice editor:** add two plain date captions to an unlabelled model notice and mark the missing check date with an open question rather than guess.
