Two worked interest choices each dayFoundation Dance · T1 W7–8 · Optional Practice

Original invented teacher examples, not learner records or promised effects. Ask what a child cares about and change the context with them. All actions are placeholders until a learner defines comfortable locally approved movement meanings. Paper/object/director alternatives stay available. Don't use these as fresh-check answers. No real animals, traffic instructions, sports techniques, cultural dances or physical imitation are prescribed.

Day 31

1. Paper robot greeting. Let the child name two ideas that might introduce their own drawn robot. Worked report: Fictional maker chooses A “small hand opening” and B “comfortable head turn”; adult checks any real enactment locally. AB key is a plan until performed; no robot emotion is known.
2. Picture garden. Offer first/second ideas for opening a child's imaginary garden picture. Worked report: Fictional maker directs A “show my circle mark” and B “show my square mark” with an adult enacting. Child composition and adult movement are recorded separately.

Day 32

1. Desk artwork opening. Choose AB or BA before revealing a personal drawing. Worked report: Fictional maker chooses BA→FINISH to introduce their drawing; the last line means over, not a third movement. Drawing/score may stay private.
2. Space puppet arrival. Choose an ordered phrase for a paper puppet's imaginary arrival. Worked report: Fictional maker chooses AB→FINISH and moves the puppet once. This is an object model, not evidence of the child's physical Dance skill or a real space event.

Day 33

1. Two pretend train windows. Make a repeated visual/movement idea inspired by a drawn train. Worked report: Fictional maker shows AB|AB→FINISH, identifies AB as the whole repeated bit and chooses a single actual trial only if comfortable. No real train behaviour is taught.
2. Tiny picture festival. Plan a short opener for two own drawings. Worked report: Fictional maker puts AB twice; they prefer the shorter single-unit work for their own drawing while still reading the supplied two-unit source accurately. Length is a choice, not a quality score.

Day 34

1. Pretend parcel reveal. Choose a deliberate quiet moment before a paper surprise. Worked report: Fictional maker makes A→PAUSE→B→FINISH; pause has something after it, finish does not. No startling reveal, real parcel or successful surprise is claimed.
2. Quiet moon picture. Add or remove a rest in a child-made scene opener. Worked report: Fictional maker chooses AB→FINISH with no rest and says “I like the two ideas together.” That intention is accepted; the model doesn't force a pause.

Day 35

1. After-check shell drawing. Only after fresh capture, practise whole units with unrelated X/Y placeholders. Worked report: Fictional maker reads XY|XY→FINISH and points to spaces1–2/3–4; no fresh-source marks/name appear here. Use own approved movements or score only.
2. After-check toy shop poster. Practise one deliberate ending in a new context. Worked report: Fictional maker makes X→Y→FINISH for their own imaginary poster. The finish is outside the pair; the toy shop is fictional and no actual audience exists.

Day 36

1. Friendly cloud drawing. Keep the same opening and compare return/new endings. Worked report: Fictional maker reads ABA versus ABB, chooses ABA because “the first idea comes back.” No viewer feeling or weather fact is inferred.
2. Pretend building opening. Choose a third ending for a paper building artwork. Worked report: Fictional maker adds C “my chosen small nod” to ABC→FINISH, updates the key and records it as a different ending; actual movement needs local approval.

Day 37

1. Own book cover. Meet Little Hello, then adapt its purpose for an original cover. Worked report: Fictional maker describes the two AB units and says “mine introduces my cover, not a welcome.” Author model purpose and child's adaptation occupy different fields.
2. Private creature drawing. Use or reject the supplied source's purpose. Worked report: Fictional maker actually encounters the supplied score through exact words, keeps ABAB, changes the ending and prefers private play. The source encounter is bounded; no real community custom is claimed.

Day 38

1. One-adult picture opening. Child may ask a willing educator to watch the own phrase/score. Worked report: Fictional record would need actual performer/route/date/audience plus that person's own response; before the event it says PLANNED, not DONE. No adult name is uploaded.
2. Keep my puppet phrase. Offer a private route as an equally respected choice. Worked report: Fictional maker chooses KEEP, saves a dated score and records NO ACTUAL AUDIENCE. Declining a share is not low attainment.

Day 39

1. Picture-show cue repair. Change one unclear score feature after a real willing viewer's attributed comment if one exists. Worked report: Fictional example changes the finish mark label while keeping ABAB order; a real version needs the actual comment, otherwise use maker observation/NONE.
2. My quiet robot opener. Revise a chosen rest using one's own observation. Worked report: Fictional maker adds PAUSE before FINISH because “I want a little space.” Before/after kept; no improved calming or engagement effect is asserted.

Day 40

1. After-check car drawing. After fresh capture, compare two unrelated endings with X/Y. Worked report: Fictional maker reads XYX versus XYY, chooses XYY for their own car picture and gives their own reason. No real driving or body action is modelled.
2. After-check family artwork. Plan a small private opener for a child-made drawing. Worked report: Fictional maker selects one unit and FINISH, records NOT PERFORMED / NO ACTUAL AUDIENCE and chooses a possible later willing share. Family participation is optional and not assessment evidence yet.
