Lesson 6
Decide what good looks like.
We stop letting the machine guess what good means. We tell it.
What we are learning
Define words like healthy, tidy, useful, cheap, or safe in your own words.
We stop letting the machine guess what good means. We tell it.
We keep the task small on purpose. If one part works, tick it. If one part gets stuck, write that down. Both are progress because both tell us what to do next.
Simple version
Do the next small thing. Tick what happened. Stop before the screen wins.

Stay beside them, not ahead of them.
Helper note
Do not argue the perfect definition. Help the learner make a definition they can actually use.
The learner should do the clicking, speaking, typing, and ticking where they can. The confidence has to belong to their hands.
