Learner choices

Target/codes: compare H–N–H with H–F–H, changing only count 2, and name an intended focus; AC9ADAFD01, AC9ADAFC01. Prepare: B near/far mat, C, broad marker.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Orient near and far from this child's table position. These are paper labels, not a real room navigation task.
  2. Model · 4 min. Show H–N–H for a near drawing and H–F–H for a far drawing. Keep counts 1 and 3 H.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Invite a child to direct the adult's marker to N then F on separate copies. Ask which count changed.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child picks a fictional window or table display and makes one three-count score through an offered route.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Check chosen purpose and N/F at 2 agree. If not, ask “Where would your paper visitor look first?” without fixing the child's answer.
  6. Close · 2 min. Save score and purpose; tomorrow compare when the marker arrives.
