Precise language

Target: Replace a vague description with quantities someone could check.

Language target: Include units with a measurement.

Likely miss: Students choose a task that sounds interesting but cannot be checked.

Ask: What unit makes this checkable?

If you see it: Ask what someone could measure or point to.

Evidence to listen for: The student selects a plan that can be tested.

Next: If the class likes a vague idea, help them rewrite it into a measurable question.

Homework mark for this device

Until a teacher sets it here, family practice is optional. Stars are an incentive, not a grade. This setting is local. It is not a district roster.

Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
