Day 16 — People helped make the change

Purpose/codes: Describe people's contributions to community change without inferring motive, identity or sole credit; K01/S02/S04/S07; K07 only partial connection. Prepare: O16 role notes and F3 if appropriate. Child start: “Who did what? Show the clue that tells us.”

1. Invite: O16 INVENTED Mara shared garden notes: a committee asked for a reading seat after visitors requested somewhere to sit; volunteer Jo drafted the seat plan; carpenter Lee built it; staff later maintained it. The notes do not give anyone's cultural background, payment status except Jo's volunteer role, or every person's opinion.
2. Model: Match person/group→actual supplied action. Do not turn “committee requested” into “committee built”, or “volunteer” into “worked for free in every role”. Diversity of contributions matters; names do not certify background.
3. Guide: Optional F3 original note: Council's 2025 report attributes assessment, parts ordering and repairs to Council staff and reports reopening. Children describe one supported action/contribution with attribution. No provider wording/image or allegations need appear in the child task. An adult-selected genuine local source can broaden whose contributions are recorded, with permission and no invented voice.
4. Choose: Use one mechanism; preserve actual source details. No real volunteering or donation is required.
5. Check: “Who helped in this record? What did they do? What doesn't it tell us?” Record whether source or inference supplies the action.
6. Next: If builder/designer roles merge, use unrelated invented market notes: Noor sketches a stall sign, a print shop produces it, staff display it. Match each action before a new case. If background is guessed, explain what names cannot establish.

Routes: (a) Contribution relay: pass broad action cards between labelled role stations or direct the passes seated; stop and explain one match. (b) Credits maker: draft a small source-based credits strip giving different actions, not a heroic single-person story. (c) Evidence interview: ask questions of an adult-read fictional note, not a pretend real person; unanswered questions stay unanswered.

Observation: A source-supported contribution connected to change. Real local-source use may support partial K01; a fictional role sort cannot establish a real local contribution. B-first becomes eligible only after explicit reason/effect/actor teaching.
