Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.
| Space | The Balanced-Plate Gallery is judgement-free — no food shaming, no diet talk, and the allergy list is checked before anything edible appears. |
| Voice | Say the one swap you would actually keep. Keeping one beats promising five. |
| Audience | Partners hear the swap, not the plate — we discuss the choice, never anyone's eating. |
| Influence | The swaps the room would keep become the swaps we stock and practise. |
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.
Keep with your ASDAN portfolio.
