How to Read a Capture
A short field guide to the recurring observation, evidence, judgement and care-plan rhythm used across all twelve chapters.
Course field guide · Use throughout all twelve Captures
This field guide sits beside the twelve dated Captures. It is not another teaching week. Return to it whenever you want to check where you are in the course’s recurring learning rhythm.
The recurring movement#
A Capture begins with a moment involving Milo and ends with a decision you can explain and revise. The labels stay familiar while the problem, evidence and owner-level action change across her life.
Scene#
Meet Milo in one concrete moment. Stay with what the room, routine and body language make visible.
Observation#
Record what you can see, hear, count or compare before naming a cause.
Judgement#
Make a first decision while uncertainty is still present. This gives you something real to revisit.
Evidence#
Use the explanation and source note to test that first judgement, including the limits of what an owner can safely conclude.
Practice#
Apply the same reasoning to a different household or a changed condition instead of repeating Milo’s answer.
Reflection#
Return to your opening note and identify what changed in your interpretation.
Care Plan#
Choose practical owner-level actions, what to observe next, and when professional help is needed.
Chapter Check#
Use the formative questions and option-specific feedback to revise your reasoning. They do not add to the formal assessment percentage.
How to use the field notebook#
Save concrete observations and reasoning as you work. These notes stay on your device and are not submitted automatically. The formal assignments ask you to select, revise and explain the evidence that genuinely changed your judgement.
