Learner choices

Target/codes: choose approaching or pointing towards a separate object marker, and explain the visible relation; AC9ADAFD01, AC9ADAFC01. Prepare: A place mat, F, large paper star and mover cards.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Name the star as invented paper, not a real prop or cultural symbol. No partner contact is needed.
  2. Model · 4 min. Put star at R, mover at H. Version one moves the marker towards R on 2; version two leaves mover H and points an arrow card R.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Ask which version changes distance and which changes facing/pointing. Move only paper pieces as children direct.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child makes one relationship score for a fictional display, by gesture if chosen/approved, tokens or drawing.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask for one visible clue and one possible message. Do not infer a feeling or body skill from token use.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the selected arrangement; Day 9 asks who may receive it.
