Codes identify a part of a description addressed by a task. Source evaluation uses fictional paper logs and comments; it does not establish actual biology, transport or product claims. Language analysis reaches paired captions, the technical/everyday uses of number words, one original literary vignette and one poem; Year 7's much wider requirement for works by First Nations Australian and diverse Australian/world authors remains for a school to plan and source with rights and protocols. Creation codes receive draft, edit and private reader-test opportunities, not a blanket claim that all modes/purposes or publication requirements are complete. Spoken discussion is observed only where it actually occurs; an AAC or written route is captured as that route. A read-aloud response is listening-supported comprehension, not independently decoded reading.

The Day 15 and 20 checks sample transfer to new texts. The separate staff key gives criterion-level next moves; neither check alone decides the achievement standard. State/territory scope, school timetable, accessibility and text selection require local review.
