Day 47 · Pick the paragraph jobs before the decoration

Useful end: A short two-paragraph claim-check guide for a chosen reader.

Preparation: Existing suitable blankpaper/marking tool or usual communication is enough. Keep the full ordinary source below ready, selected fresh sources and staff panels separate. Check the learner's actual previous opportunities; teach the named relationship before asking for independence.

Run the lesson

  1. Own starting thought ·3minutes. Ask: “Pick the paragraph jobs before the decoration. What would you want the next reader to know?” Retain the own first contribution before the worked model.

  2. Read and model ·5minutes. Complete ordinary source: An original guide first names a pretend station story and its character's hope to arrive early. Its second paragraph says no real timetable or arrival is supplied and suggests checking an actual service page before planning real travel.

    Worked reasoning: Paragraph1: In this invented story, the character hopes to arrive early. It gives a character's wish. Paragraph2: It is not a real timetable or observed arrival. For a real journey, an adult would check the actual service information. Each paragraph has a different useful job.

  3. A different guided try ·5minutes. Try a fictional drawing-kit guide: identify its one supplied trial, then explain what remains untested. A shorter one-paragraph guide can fit if the purpose is clear.

  4. Choose one useful route ·10minutes.

    • Route1: Sort/direct whole sentences into source job and limits/next-question groups; explain a plausible alternative.

    • Route2: Write/draw labelled linked guide panels for a chosen private reader, adding a meaningful topic reference.

    • Route3: Compose orally/sign/AAC with a faithful scribe and choose paragraph boundaries by job.

  5. Look closely ·5minutes. Do not reward decorative paragraph breaks, longer text or an unnecessary edit. Check a link to the source and a reader-use reason.

  6. Keep a next move ·2minutes. Teach an actual grouping/reference/conditional relationship from the own guide.

Access and evidence: Private work, usual speech/sign/AAC, pointing, drawing, directing a faithful scribe or no-object work are available. Rest, decline or return are possible. Record what was actually contributed and the actual help. Adult reading supports meaning; dictation preserves composition but does not demonstrate independent reading/spelling/handwriting. Never fill in a missing reader, event, check or child result.
