Mastery checkpoint 1.1: one scene, seven precise roles

Where we are on the map

The support shows a word’s role in a scene rather than a table of endings. First find the image: actor, relationship, affected object, goal, location, source, or shared means. Only then trace the arrow to a question and form. Hide the labels and rebuild the route from the pictures.

A real situation

A team receives a neighbourhood model, objects, and task cards. They must name participants, connect parts of the map, select an object, pass it to a recipient, place it at a point, take it from a source, and act together or with a tool.

Listen and respond

Listen: Оқушылар жобаны бастайды. — The learners begin the specific project.

Listen: Жобаның картасы үстелде. — The project’s map is on the table.

Listen: Картаны жаңа оқушыға беремін. — I give the map to a new learner.

Listen: Ол картаға белгі қояды. — They place a mark on the map.

Listen: Белгіні қораптан аламыз. — We take the marker from the box.

Listen: Тапсырманы тобымызбен орындаймыз. — We complete the task with our group.

How to practise

On the first listen, hide the text and identify the role of the highlighted word. On the second, reveal the Kazakh line, point to the stem and ending, and repeat the whole sentence. On the third, replace the place, object, or participant and choose the role again before choosing an ending. Use the recording for pronunciation and prove understanding with a new example.

The precise model

The checkpoint contains ten observable actions: recognise zero form; build a two-sided genitive link; distinguish a general and specific object; show a recipient or goal; fix a location; identify a source; choose a companion or means; explain one sound-conditioned ending; change a form when its role changes; and repair an error through a meaning question. Mastery requires 8 of 10 with transfer.

The support signal

КІМ? → КІМНІҢ? → НЕНІ? → КІМГЕ/ҚАЙДА? → ҚАЙДА? → ҚАЙДАН? → КІММЕН/НЕМЕН? → 8/10

The limit of the rule

The checkpoint does not require a perfect recital of case names in textbook order. The result is choosing an understandable form in a new scene and explaining its role. The learners’ varied appearance represents multicultural Kazakhstan, but it is never evidence for guessing a person’s language, citizenship, faith, or origin.

Predict before the explanation

Before the explanation, act out the scene with objects. Ask who acts, whose part it is, what is specifically affected, to whom or where it goes, where it is, where it comes from, and with whom or by what it is done. Record the role and question, then predict the form. The rule checks your decision rather than replacing it.

Rebuild it without the prompt

Hide the lesson and draw a three-object scene. Label roles without case names, then add questions and finally endings. Say the familiar sentence, a changed sentence, and your own. If a form disappears, return to the meaning arrow instead of mechanically trying every option.

Find and repair the mistake

A learner recites endings correctly but continues to say үстелде after the object begins moving towards the table. Stop the recital, show the goal arrow, and replace the coordinate with үстелге. After the object stops, restore үстелде.

Transfer to a new setting

Receive an unseen scene with another object, person, route, or means. Explain the form with one short reason: ‘this is the goal’, ‘this is the location’, or ‘this is the source’. A partner changes one role; change only the ending and meaning connected with that role.

Change to the My World project

Assemble My World 1.1: a multicultural team, one central object, seven role arrows, four sound families for endings, and an independent-repair card.

Exercise

Required. Give a five-minute unscripted demonstration and meet 8 of 10 criteria, including a role change on an unseen card. Delayed check. After seven days analyse another scene and meet 7 criteria without a table.

Retrieval after 1, 7, and 30 days

• Tomorrow rebuild the role map and give three new examples without a table.
• After seven days analyse an unseen scene and meet at least 7 of 10 criteria.
• After thirty days use the forms in an independent account and mark which questions now appear without a prompt.

Next lesson: Time is visible in the scene: yesterday, usually, now, tomorrow
