# Desk run-through and correction record 29 September 2026

This is a **simulated desk review of the authored pack**, not a classroom pilot, student study, accessibility certification or funder endorsement. The reviewer used the files as a teacher, a fictional Year 8 learner, an access support planner and a prospective funder would. The reproducible internal checks are in [verify_pack.py](verify_pack.py); the [rights ledger](SOURCES-AND-RIGHTS.md) separates original and ACARA material.

| Desk lens | Concrete route tried | Finding and correction |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Teacher, Day 13 | Opened [Texts A/B](TEXTS.md), the [lesson](LESSONS.md#week-3-day-13-make-the-paragraph-earn-its-claim), [route B](LEARNER-COPY.md#day-13) and [daily key](TEACHER-KEY.md#daily-feedback-map). Built the clause-strip sentence and checked the total against the source. | The paper result is `24 + 18 × 4 = 96 cm`, with two 12 cm margins. The script explicitly asks for a separate physical limit and records the first paragraph plus edit. A calculation error is checked separately from the English source claim. A teacher still needs to arrange the local paper strips and record exact learner support. |
| Learner, Day 18 | Followed [route A/B/C](LEARNER-COPY.md#day-18) against the complete [poem](TEXTS.md#text-f-a-line-to-leave-room-original-short-poem), then used the [line/meaning sheet](print/line-meaning.pdf). Tried two defensible readings of “choice unmade” tied to words in the poem. | Each route ends in a supported opinion **and** two original lines with a visible revision. The teacher prompt accepts different readings and avoids a personal-disclosure demand. The Year 8 `AC9E8LA02` link was sharpened by naming the vignette's *like a frame* simile and the poem's gate/sky metaphor in actual model steps; it remains partial coverage. |
| Access planner | Read all three [A4 PDFs](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md), checked extracted PDF text and compared the printed prompts with the full [text/tactile alternatives](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md). Switched the Day 19 route between speech, AAC and quiet written reply. | The original A4 sheets use large dark text, numbered/labelled boxes and no colour-only instruction. Every printed prompt, value and spatial relation has a text/tactile counterpart. An adult reading aloud changes the evidence label to listening-supported comprehension. Day 19 does not credit written text or synthetic voice as evidence of vocal control. Actual assistive-technology/user validation remains to be done locally. |
| Teacher, Days 15/20 | Compared [new check sources](ASSESSMENT.md) with [practice texts](TEXTS.md) and [optional extras](OPTIONAL-PRACTICE-AND-HOME.md), then scored the sample response against the [private criterion key](TEACHER-KEY.md). | Both checks use fresh values and phrases; each has four 0/1/2 criteria and an immediate next teaching move. Source/claim errors do not become a mathematics diagnosis or whole-year English score. A shared website must gate staff files operationally; file naming and a README warning do not protect them. |
| Prospective funder | Followed [crosswalk](CURRICULUM-CROSSWALK.md) to dated official rows, inspected [rights/attribution](SOURCES-AND-RIGHTS.md) and traced each PDF to [generator](print/generate_print.py), [font rights](print/FONT-RIGHTS.md) and [hash manifest](MANIFEST.sha256). | The package is original except selected attributed ACARA wording and the separately licensed embedded font. The audit describes 10 lessons, 30 choices, 20 extras, 10 home routes and 2 checks, not proven learner gains or complete Year 8 coverage. Wider authored literature, local jurisdiction review and cultural authority are explicit release boundaries. |

## Print and practical observations

The three one-page A4 PDFs were rendered to images and visually inspected at 1200-pixel long side: no overlapping prompts, cut-off response line or colour-dependent meaning was seen. PDF text extraction preserves titles, prompts, numerical values and licence footer. The sheets use blank writing lines; for a learner who needs more space, enlarge or continue on paper rather than shrinking text. Their text alternatives can be selected instead of a visual sheet. No human classroom or assistive-device trial has been performed.

## Release interpretation

The [local verifier](verify_pack.py) checks exact official code/row/description import, timed lessons, 30 routes, 20 optional choices and 10 home rows, held-out phrase separation, source arithmetic, rubric presence, A4 SVG/PDF structure, deterministic regeneration, internal links and the file hash receipt. A passing result establishes the **pack's internal integrity at this dated source snapshot**. Teacher selection of additional literature, language support, moderation, state/territory implementation and student feedback remain necessary before any claim that a year or course is comprehensive.
