Retrieval Quiz

Arrival Task – What Do You Already Know?

1. Say it

Why tell our partner our progress?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

2. Spot it

One good way to share an update?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

3. Point to it

Point to what we'd show them.

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

1. The big idea

What does 'Partners deserve updates.' mean in your own words?

Own words — one honest sentence.

2. Today's work

Today is 'Partner Update' — keep them informed. What do you think we'll be doing?

A sensible prediction — we check it at the end.

3. Success check

By the end you should be able to say: 'I can help prepare an update for our partner.' What will that take today?

Name one thing you’ll need to do or try.

1. Their seat

You're the partner. What do you actually want from a school project update?

Short, honest, photographic — progress, problems, and what's needed from me.

2. Bad news

The build hit a problem. Why does telling the partner STRENGTHEN trust rather than damage it?

Honesty early beats surprises late — problems admitted are problems shared.

3. Edit down

Cut a rambling update to three lines that still carry everything. What survives?

Progress made, problem met, next step planned — everything else is decoration.

I Do

The Model — Partner Update

Key Idea: Partners deserve updates.

👀 Look: keep the partner in the loop — message out, reply back, trust grows.

Step 0 of 3

Why we keep our community partner updated.

Partners gave us their site and their trust — updates are the rent. An informed partner stays an ally; a surprised one becomes a doubter.

Preparing a short, polite progress update.

A good update is short, polite and honest: what's done, what's stuck, what's next. Three beats of news, no padding.

Using photos to show progress.

Photos carry progress better than promises — a picture of the sanded frame outweighs a paragraph about effort.

Proving It — The Evidence Loop

Key Idea: Launch extension: one written line — the sentence you'd want our partner to repeat to someone else.

Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo/record the update.

Annotate

'we told our partner ___'.

Witness

staff tick 'helped update the partner', sign.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Independent Work

Independent Work — Studio Time

Instructions: Work at your level. Evidence goes in your ASDAN portfolio — Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — ASDAN/UAS community evidence.

🤝 With support

Task: Choose the two progress photos that show real change, then build your update line from the printed sentence frames.

Steps: One step at a time — adult support is right there. Photo when you’re proud of it.

👤 On your own

Task: Prepare a short progress update for our partner using our build photos and one next step.

Steps: Work the task through — photo as you go, annotate at the end, witness tick before you pack up.

🚀 Take it further

Task: Prepare a short progress update for our partner using our build photos and one next step. Stretch: anticipate the partner's hardest question — and draft our answer.

Steps: Task first, stretch second — and your annotation should explain the why, not just the what.

Lundy Loop

Lundy Loop — Your Voice on the Wall

Why: Article 12 — your view counts here, and it genuinely changes what happens next.

🚪 SPACE

The Project Board is a real-stakes space — our partner sees it — but it's still safe: nothing goes up without your say-so, and 'pass' is allowed.

📣 VOICE

Say the line you think should go to the partner. Your words, not a form's.

👥 AUDIENCE

This one leaves the room for real — an actual person reads what we send.

⭐ INFLUENCE

The lines the room picks are the lines we send. Nothing gets rewritten behind you.

Where does today’s evidence bank?

ASDAN/UAS community evidence

1.

Draft the partner's hardest possible question — then your team's honest answer.

Own draft — usually cost, timescale or 'will it last?' Honest answer wins each.

2.

Why does 'including problems' make an update MORE professional, not less?

Pros report reality — filtered good news is advertising, not reporting.

3.

What would you want reported back if YOU had lent someone your garden?

Own answer — then check today's update against it.

Scaffolding – Supported

Access & sensory notes (staff)
· The supported task today is: Choose the two progress photos that show real change, then build your update line from the printed sentence frames.
· Fine motor: offer the chunky-grip pen, and accept a card sort or a spoken answer scribed by an adult — the judgement is the evidence, not the handwriting.
· Sensory: Anything off-site or on a walk is the loud part. Ear defenders out before you leave the room, not after — and whoever needs it goes in the first pair, before group noise builds.
· Cognitive load: a completed small piece beats a half-done large one at moderation. Cut the target, never the thinking.
· Ring the level honestly on the witness sheet. Supported with the work finished is a stronger portfolio entry than Standard with it abandoned.

Lundy Loop — this lesson

Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.

Space	The Project Board is a real-stakes space — our partner sees it — but it's still safe: nothing goes up without your say-so, and 'pass' is allowed.
Voice	Say the line you think should go to the partner. Your words, not a form's.
Audience	This one leaves the room for real — an actual person reads what we send.
Influence	The lines the room picks are the lines we send. Nothing gets rewritten behind you.

Closing the loop: out loud, as a class, is enough here. Any inclusion counts — a nod, a word, a pointed finger. If a pupil wants theirs written down, an adult scribes it in their words. Pass is always allowed.
