Week 14 · Term Two · One inspectable lantern
Turn one posted lantern into letters a family can check: a same-shift decode, a six-step algorithm, a rhyme that is not the message, a login that is not a puzzle, and a notebook that does not say the keep was opened.
Monday keeps −2 on every letter. Tuesday counts six steps. Wednesday splits JCTDQT from a dock rhyme. Thursday leaves the door login alone. Friday writes a notebook a skeptical family can inspect.
20 minutes
Logic · One posted shift
Apply the same posted shift to every letter, and refuse a lucky guess as a decode.
Make
A lantern decode card
Keep handoff: The decode card is filed. The algorithm is still open — a finished word is not yet a written set of steps.
25 minutes
Algorithms · Name the steps
Count the posted steps, and refuse an all-shifts hunt as the algorithm.
Make
A shift procedure card
Keep handoff: The procedure card is filed. Language is still open — the same letters can sit in a rhyme that is not the decode.
25 minutes
Language · Same letters, different rule
Keep a first-letter rhyme and a shift decode as two objects, even when the letters match.
Make
A rhyme-versus-decode card
Keep handoff: The two-rule card is filed. Safety is still open — a labeled puzzle is not a permission to try a door.
20 minutes
Cyber safety · A puzzle is labeled
Keep puzzle work on a labeled card, and refuse a login or password hunt as a game.
Make
A safety boundary card
Keep handoff: The safety card is filed. Public writing is still open — a refused door is not yet a notebook a family can inspect.
25 minutes
Public writing · A notebook families can check
Write a notebook that uses this week’s letters and states what a shift card still cannot prove.
Make
A Codebreaking notebook
Keep handoff: The codebreaking notebook is filed. Term Two now has one inspectable lantern model — not a claim that a keep was opened.
The notebook uses only work entered here. It does not infer an opened keep, a password game, grades, mastery, attendance, or accreditation.
