Story 5: The Secret Seeds That Stay Private
Garden lab — privacy and consent day · 8 words one per day · AI Pre-Literacy
1. Story — Text-Based (Day 1-2: Imagination Studio)
Read this with NO pictures first. Child becomes illustrator.
Lina has special seeds from Grandma. They are private. Private means only for family, not everyone.
Omar has leaf pictures for everyone to see. They are public. Public means okay for everyone to see.
Grandma’s seeds are a secret. A secret is something we keep safe and do not share.
Lina will keep the secret seeds in a little box. Keep means save carefully and protect.
Omar took a photo of Grandma by mistake. “Should we delete it?” Delete means remove it, make it gone.
Lina says, “We need consent. Consent means saying yes, it is okay to share. Let’s ask Grandma.”
Grandma says, “You can remember me, but delete that photo.” Remember means keep in heart, not on tablet.
Omar deletes it. Sometimes we must forget on purpose. Forget means letting tablet not remember.
Lina smiles, “Private stays private, public we can share — with consent.”
