Open Page Lab is ten original 35-minute Days 11–20 lessons about a fictional paper exhibition proposal. Learners test how far a source can support a design claim, expand and solve the relevant model rules, safely investigate a paper-support assumption, compare fictional supplier quotes, make original visual captions and test an offline model tool's reader experience. It continues the opening fortnight's repair-plan and biased-poll questions about price, selection and claim reach, then connects the new English paper-display and demo texts with Year 8 algebra. All figures and people are invented. The pack authorises no real installation, event, purchase or student survey.

Role Open Keep separate
Teacher Ten timed lessons, invented source packet, daily learner A/B/C routes, optional extras/home Fresh checks and teacher worked key for Days 15/20
Learner The day's source, one of three routes, and a chosen A4/PDF/text/tactile aid Give the new check source on its day, without the answer key
Reviewer Exact ACARA crosswalk, source and rights ledger, desk run-through, hash receipt No real learner evidence is included

The common rhythm is 3 + 5 + 7 + 12 + 5 + 3 minutes. There are 30 meaningful daily learner routes, two alternative five-minute extras plus one no-purchase home idea per day, and two fresh transfer checks with separate teacher criteria. The three original one-page A4 SVG/PDF aids have complete linear and tactile equivalents. The optional offline model-audit tool provides actual keyboard-testable interface material; its paper route remains available without a screen. The checks and worked key are publicly accessible in this library. They are formative prompts, not secure tests: collect first responses before feedback and change the case locally if prior access matters.

Use the evidence honestly

Read-aloud supports listening comprehension, not independent print decoding. Record what the learner did and any prompt, calculator, AAC, scribe or physical-test support. A paper wireframe does not show browser use; an invented fallback data table does not show the learner conducted an experiment; an AAC or written answer does not automatically show vocal control. The brief paper-support investigation tests a small paper object under classroom conditions. Teacher local safety review is required, and no result certifies a real structure. No household finances, family schedules, personal access needs, recordings or identifiable pupil work are sought.

The 27-code row-level crosswalk identifies partial or conditional opportunities from Year 8 English, Mathematics, Science and HASS, and the Years 7 and 8 bands of Technologies and Visual Arts. It is not comprehensive subject allocation, demonstrated learning, a Year 8 achievement-standard decision or state/territory syllabus approval. First Nations languages, knowledge, motifs and real local place claims are deliberately absent pending community authority and local source selection. A school must review its jurisdiction's implementation, include broader authored literature and local curriculum requirements, and moderate actual student evidence before making coverage claims. No translations have been reviewed or published.

Audit and reuse

The pinned official workbook is dated 29 September 2026; see ledger for attribution, licence, source hash and update boundary. To regenerate and check the crosswalk and receipt, run python3 verify_pack.py --write-crosswalk --write-manifest, then python3 verify_pack.py and sha256sum -c MANIFEST.sha256 in this folder. The verifier checks lesson times, route counts, held-out phrase separation, actual source rows/wording, arithmetic, A4 assets, deterministic rendering, internal anchors and hashes. This is internal artifact verification, not a human classroom trial or assistive-technology certification.
