Use a fictional relationship chart with complete written facts. Ask learners to follow the supplied parent and sibling links instead of guessing from age, names, or where a box appears on the page. They do not need to enter their own family's information.
Supply every link in text
This original example contains five fictional people with stable IDs:
| Person ID | Name | Supplied role or relationship |
|---|---|---|
| P01 | Leo | Maya's brother; parent of Nora and Ivan |
| P02 | Maya | Leo's sister; parent of Kai |
| P03 | Nora | Leo's daughter |
| P04 | Ivan | Leo's child |
| P05 | Kai | Maya's child |
Leo and Maya are siblings. No other parent, partner, household, or biological relationship is supplied. Nora's daughter role and Leo's brother role are explicit facts of this example; do not infer them from their names. Ivan and Kai are described as children without adding an unsupplied gender label.
The companion chart shows these exact links and retains the full text beside it. Moving a person's box does not change a relationship, and two neighboring boxes do not create one. This is one bounded example of English relationship vocabulary, not a universal representation of all families or cultural kinship terms.
Connect the words to the stated path
Merriam-Webster defines aunt in a sense relevant here as a parent's sister, cousin as the child of an aunt or uncle, and niece as a sibling's daughter. Use those senses for the supplied links rather than importing other relationships into the chart. Aunt, cousin, niece.
Keep the focal person and target person visible in each question:
| Item | Question | Teacher key | Supporting path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | From Nora's viewpoint, what is Maya's relationship to Nora? | Aunt | Nora's parent is Leo; Maya is Leo's sister |
| Q2 | From Nora's viewpoint, what is Kai's relationship to Nora? | Cousin | Nora → parent Leo → sister Maya → child Kai |
| Q3 | From Kai's viewpoint, what is Nora's relationship to Kai? | Cousin | Kai → parent Maya → brother Leo → child Nora |
| Q4 | From Maya's viewpoint, what is Nora's relationship to Maya? | Niece | Nora is the daughter of Maya's brother Leo |
Offer aunt, cousin, and niece for each bounded question. Keep this teacher key separate from the clean learner copy, whose choices start unanswered. Q2 and Q3 use the same word in opposite directions, while Q1 and Q4 demonstrate how changing the viewpoint can change the word.
Explain a wrong direction instead of only marking it
If a learner chooses niece for Q1, feedback can say: “The question asks who Maya is to Nora. Nora's parent is Leo, and Maya is Leo's sister, so Maya is Nora's aunt. Nora is Maya's niece in the reverse direction.” For Q4's wrong aunt choice, name Maya as the viewpoint and explain that the target Nora is her brother's daughter.
A proposed perspective selector could highlight one relationship path and show the full sentence beside it. It must not rewrite the underlying links when the viewpoint changes. Use labeled choices and text paths so the task does not depend on dragging, color, or reading a diagram without an alternative.
The companion pairs the chart with local choices and relationship paths. Feedback is keyed to these four fictional questions rather than an automatic judgment about a learner's real family.
Count unique items, not repeated checks
Each of the four items has its own choice and evaluated state. Blank means unanswered, not wrong. A repeated check of the same answer does not create another item or award an additional point. The correct-item count stays at most four.
If a learner changes a choice, clear that item's stale feedback and evaluated contribution until it is checked again. A retry updates the same item. Reset clears all choices, feedback, and attempt state back to unanswered. No scores are saved or sent, and no family-entry form is part of this design.
For a printable version, provide the original fictional chart and full text facts on the learner copy, with the word/path key on a separate teacher sheet. Actual printing and narrow-screen readability still need checking after construction.
Copy this prompt for the relationship worksheet
Create one complete, self-contained US-English HTML companion for “Family paths • whose relationship?”. Return the full HTML document, with inline CSS and any JavaScript needed for the local interactions. Use the original scenario, named records, numbers and expected cases below.
Design the page for this task: use clearly labeled input or source records, a readable result or worked example, and an adjacent explanation of the evidence. Use a restrained visual hierarchy, left-aligned text, readable tables or stacked records, and a responsive layout at 720px and 360px. Provide meaningful labeled controls for Reset all answers; Teacher key; Check Q1; Trace this question; Check Q2; Check Q3; Check Q4; Return to clean learner view; Select learner text. Use keyboard-accessible native controls and visible focus. Keep the complete content readable without an external dependency.
The following brief supplies the substantive content and constraints. Native-format requests describe the material to represent or copy manually; this HTML must not pretend to create DOCX, XLSX, PDF, PPTX, H5P or another native file, run Python/Flask/Django/Snowflake/Power BI, connect a live service, send messages, or perform an authorized real-world action. Where the task requires a native source, actual observation or separate approval, retain that requirement and leave unsupplied evidence blank.
Create a complete US English family-vocabulary worksheet specification: original fictional relationship chart, full text alternative, clean learner copy, four questions, separate teacher word/path key, direction-specific feedback, and interaction test matrix. Do not collect learners' real family details. People: P01 Leo and P02 Maya are siblings; Leo is Maya's brother and Maya is Leo's sister. P03 Nora and P04 Ivan are Leo's children; Nora is explicitly Leo's daughter. P05 Kai is Maya's child. No other parent, partner, household or biological links. Do not infer gender from names or relationships from box position. This is one example of English usage, not a universal family model. Offer aunt/cousin/niece for each item. Q1 from Nora's viewpoint, Maya to Nora: aunt, via Nora-parent Leo-sister Maya. Q2 from Nora's viewpoint, Kai to Nora: cousin, via Leo-Maya-Kai. Q3 from Kai's viewpoint, Nora to Kai: cousin, via Maya-brother Leo-child Nora. Q4 from Maya's viewpoint, Nora to Maya: niece, daughter of Maya's brother Leo. Q1 niece feedback must explain reversed direction: Maya is Nora's aunt, Nora is Maya's niece. Q4 aunt feedback identifies Maya as viewpoint and Nora as brother's daughter. Preserve stable person/item/link IDs and full written facts. Proposed perspective selection highlights a path plus complete sentence, without changing links. Four unique item states: blank unanswered; repeated checks add no points; correct-item count at most4. Answer change clears old feedback and evaluated contribution; retry updates same item; reset clears choices/feedback/attempt state. Native labeled choices and text alternative, no drag-only or color-only requirement. Printable learner chart/facts and separate teacher key, with actual print and360px tests pending. No actual diagram/glyph/control construction claimed, no real genealogy entry, stored/sent scores or learner collection.
COMPLETE AUTHORED SCENARIO AND EXPECTED CASES
The following is the supplied reading/teaching/calculation record to represent in the companion. Preserve its particular content, examples, source references and unknowns. Wording about a future native implementation refers to that native task, not permission to omit this HTML companion.
# A Family Members Interactive Worksheet That Shows Whose Relationship You Mean
A learner knows the words “aunt” and “niece” but chooses the wrong one because the question changes direction. The people have not changed; the viewpoint has. A useful family-vocabulary worksheet names the person whose relationship is being described and traces the links that support the answer.
Use a fictional relationship chart with complete written facts. Ask learners to follow the supplied parent and sibling links instead of guessing from age, names, or where a box appears on the page. They do not need to enter their own family's information.

| P05 | Kai | Maya's child |
Leo and Maya are siblings. No other parent, partner, household, or biological relationship is supplied. Nora's daughter role and Leo's brother role are explicit facts of this example; do not infer them from their names. Ivan and Kai are described as children without adding an unsupplied gender label.

## Connect the words to the stated path
Merriam-Webster defines aunt in a sense relevant here as a parent's sister, cousin as the child of an aunt or uncle, and niece as a sibling's daughter. Use those senses for the supplied links rather than importing other relationships into the chart. [Aunt](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aunt), [cousin](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cousin), [niece](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niece).
Keep the focal person and target person visible in each question:
| Item | Question | Teacher key | Supporting path |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Q1 | From Nora's viewpoint, what is Maya's relationship to Nora? | Aunt | Nora's parent is Leo; Maya is Leo's sister |
| Q2 | From Nora's viewpoint, what is Kai's relationship to Nora? | Cousin | Nora → parent Leo → sister Maya → child Kai |
| Q3 | From Kai's viewpoint, what is Nora's relationship to Kai? | Cousin | Kai → parent Maya → brother Leo → child Nora |
| Q4 | From Maya's viewpoint, what is Nora's relationship to Maya? | Niece | Nora is the daughter of Maya's brother Leo |

Implement the local companion rather than returning a text-only plan. Preserve every numerical fixture and the distinction between illustrative expectations and actual evidence. Any native-runtime or classroom tests mentioned above remain tests to perform in the proper environment; do not mark them passed. Keep edits and practice responses in this open page only, without claiming persistent storage. Provide invalid/missing-input feedback and reset behavior that agree with this specific brief. Do not claim accessibility certification, learning gains, real approvals or test results that were not observed.
Review the viewpoint and key
Use the HTML companion to inspect whether each viewpoint matches its sentence in the companion. Keep actual learner responses in the normal teaching workflow; the review copy needs no real family information.
Finish by having learners name the focal person and trace the supplied links behind their word choice, so reversing a question becomes something they can explain rather than guess.
