Lesson 05.3 · Phase 05 Thinking in steps
Check each step.
01 · The problem
Errors travel. A wrong audience in step 1 becomes a wrong page in step 5. If you do not check, you correct the end and miss the cause.
02 · The prompt
Ask for a short check against the brief before the next step. Yes or no, plus the miss if any.
A gate
Check this step against the brief. Brief: adults; Saturday; ten o’clock; first session; two sentences. Text: “This page is for adults at the Saturday drawing class. We start at ten; the first session is a short one.” Reply with Pass or Fail and one line why. Do not rewrite.
03 · Try itPromptYour prompt
Fail it on purpose once: change “adults” to “children” in the text and see the gate catch it.
Illustrative answer — written for this lesson, not a live model
Fail — the brief says adults; the text says children.
04 · What you made
A gate you can reuse between steps. Cheap to run. Expensive to skip.
