# Learner choices · three flexible routes to the same Dance target

Offer A/B/C to any learner on any day. These are choices for this moment, not fixed learning styles or ability groups. Read the [complete original sources](MATERIALS.md) aloud. Use broad secured cards, large print, braille, AAC, pointing, signing, a private conversation or an adult scribe. No one must touch, move physically, make sound or share publicly. Paper composition and actual movement are recorded separately; a paper puppet is not a willing human audience.

## Day 11 · Offer an idea

- **A: Tell or sign:** Choose OPEN, WAIT and a third shape, then say what the invitation might communicate.
- **B: Place cards:** Arrange three broad marks and direct an adult to read the child's chosen idea.
- **C: Private source read:** Hear Ada's full line and identify her purpose, then choose a different opening and answer on paper and state your own purpose.

## Day 12 · Answer differently

- **A: Explain:** Tell what Bo changed from Ada's TURN and make another answer of your own.
- **B: Side-by-side:** Place two broad score strips beside each other and mark a changed direction, quality or pause.
- **C: Private response:** Hear Source B, direct an adult to draw a different answer, and point to the change and your intended idea.

## Day 13 · A wait leaves room

- **A: Describe:** Put a WAIT between offer and answer and explain why the maker chose that position.
- **B: Move a label:** Place a broad PAUSE card into one of two paper strips and compare them.
- **C: Private read:** Identify where Source A waits, choose a placement in your own offer-and-answer score, and explain why; no body freeze is required.

## Day 14 · Choose sharing

- **A: Ask or decline:** Use a paper puppet to rehearse asking, hearing no and accepting it, then make your own share-or-private choice; a real audience remains optional.
- **B: Order choices:** Put ASK, YES/NO/NOT NOW, PRIVATE/SHARE on broad cards, then choose how your own idea might be shared or kept private.
- **C: Private maker choice:** Tell an educator whether to keep the work private, share with a willing person or wait; no reason is needed.

## Day 15 · Fresh Case I

- **A: Spoken or signed:** After first neutral read, answer all [teacher-held questions](ASSESSMENT.md) with an original paper answer.
- **B: Point/AAC:** Use broad new-case labels for the same questions while an adult records the first independent choice.
- **C: Private read:** Hear Case I quietly; point to its marks and maker purpose, make a different answer with your own intention, and distinguish puppet rehearsal from a willing real audience.

## Day 16 · Smooth start

- **A: Describe:** Make a broad smooth paper line and tell the intended idea, without copying a Science object test.
- **B: Direct a mover:** Guide an adult's paper mover along a smooth line and identify it as paper/adult action.
- **C: Private source read:** Hear Source D, choose your own smooth paper line and purpose, and state what remains unknown about any human movement.

## Day 17 · One change

- **A: Revise:** Keep the opening line and choose a different direction or quality for one part, naming the change.
- **B: Compare strips:** Use two broad paper versions to point to the changed field and dictate a maker intention.
- **C: Private trial:** Ask an adult to draw your chosen revision; point to the changed part and state your intention. Any physical movement remains safe, optional and separate.

## Day 18 · Place a pause

- **A: Explain:** Choose pause-first or pause-last, then tell a purpose different from or like Source E's makers.
- **B: Move broad PAUSE:** Put the marker before or after a line and show how the two paper scores differ.
- **C: Private source read:** Identify both Source E intentions, make a new pause choice and give your own purpose without a body hold.

## Day 19 · Maker and actual audience

- **A: Respond:** If the original teacher demo was actually performed, name the maker's stated purpose and one detail truly noticed; otherwise label paper score only.
- **B: Source cards:** Place MAKER, PURPOSE, SCORE, ACTUAL PERFORMANCE and AUDIENCE cards against what was actually sourced or occurred; say the maker's stated purpose.
- **C: Private choice:** Identify the maker and stated purpose from the paper or real demo, then share one original idea with a willing educator or keep it private; distinguish actual from imagined response.

## Day 20 · Fresh Case J

- **A: Spoken or signed:** After first neutral read, make a changed paper flow phrase and answer the [teacher-held questions](ASSESSMENT.md).
- **B: Point/AAC:** Choose broad new-case marks for the same questions while an adult records the first independent choice.
- **C: Private read:** Hear Case J quietly; place the pause, make a different revision with your own intention, and separate paper, actual performance and audience response.
