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.

This is a formative observation guide, not an achievement-standard decision. Record exact action/phrase, whether it was REAL, MODEL, PLAN, PERFORMANCE or a program run, access mode and prompts. A missing response may mean the route or time failed: mark not yet observed, adapt and sample again. Keep child work in school-approved private systems. A correctly labelled fictional card is useful reasoning evidence; it cannot prove a real place, tested material, bodily movement, sounded music, media production or digital implementation that did not occur.

Day What can count in this block, and its limit Immediate next move
11 A paper path evidences choreography ideas, not bodily dance practice or performance; observed safe movement supports development evidence. If movement is uncomfortable, reduce range and let the learner direct/compose without making a performance claim.
12 Performance code applies only to actual voluntary performance; a silent plan does not show performed dance. If audience misses the idea, change one pause or speed choice and try again only with consent.
13 A written scene plan does not demonstrate improvised dramatic action; note whether action/voice/puppet enactment occurred. If there is no turning point, ask which single phrase could change a character's next action.
14 Performance code requires actual voluntary enactment; a script alone is creation evidence, not performance. If the audience cannot follow, add a clear opening cue or pause and try privately.
15 Paper frames do not demonstrate media-technology production; actual device use and image choices are recorded only if observed under school policy. If the chosen image hides a needed feature, change framing and compare again.
16 AC9AMA4C01/P01 evidence requires actual media construction/sharing as described; no child image, voice or identifying data is captured. If a frame implies the wrong step, reorder it and test with a reader before private sharing.
17 A silent beat card does not show listening, singing or playing; record actual sounded/observed work separately. If the four beats are unclear, count 1–4 with a visual/tactile pulse and try a slower soft version.
18 Performance code needs audible or otherwise perceptible intentional playing; a silent paper score is composition planning only. If answer simply copies, invite one changed rest or long beat and hear the effect.
19 Actual marks support experimentation; a verbal plan alone does not show material/process trial. Do not copy community-owned motifs. If all marks look alike, change one variable at a time and compare side by side.
20 Creation evidence needs an actual work or child-directed making; presentation code only when voluntarily shared/displayed, not simply finished. If decoration obscures the word, change scale, spacing or placement for the intended reader.

Boundaries to revisit: The national code crosswalk is partial; see source and rights ledger. Actual Year 4 curriculum decisions, safety approvals, access routes and any real-world investigation belong to the school and relevant local authorities.
