Learner choices

Goal/codes: Repeat a child-chosen motif at two relative heights; the repeat helps a viewer recognise it despite the change. AC9ADAFD01 / AC9ADAFC01 partial. AC9ADAFP01 only after actual willing-audience sharing; AC9ADAFE01 only after authorised real-work encounter. Prepare: Original A4 or no-print equivalent, broad paper motifs/bands, child-choice record. See materials.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Repeat a child-chosen motif at two relative heights; the repeat helps a viewer recognise it despite the change. Offer paper, AAC, adult-direction, and optional safe movement; anyone may pass on enactment.

  2. Read and model · 4 min. Draw a loop in the lower band and the same loop in the upper band. Name “same shape, different position.” No one must make a loop with their body.

  3. Try together · 5 min. Compare lower loop → upper loop with lower loop → lower zigzag; ask which preserves the shape.

  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child picks a safe abstract motif, repeats it in another band and says what a fictional viewer might notice.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Check motif identity and position change separately; imagined viewer notice is not real response.

  6. Close · 2 min. Tomorrow’s unseen K source asks for an independent scale choice.

Next teaching: If motif changes accidentally, compare shape outlines; if strong, ask why its reappearance matters. Use equivalent routes and worked practice.
