Learner choices

Goal: Order two child-owned ideas and mark a deliberate finish. Proposed partial AC9ADAFD01 / AC9ADAFC01. Prepare: Child's key, two moment spaces and a FINISH card outside them; ending mat.

  1. Arrive · 3 min. Read yesterday's key together. Ask permission to use the same ideas today; replace an uncomfortable idea and record the new definition.

  2. Read · 4 min. Lay A → B → FINISH. Say, “The line tells our reader the phrase is over. It isn't a third movement.” Read A then B once; nobody must enact the model.

  3. Try · 5 min. Put B before A. Ask what changed. Accept an exact description through any available mode. The order changed; the marks and finish rule stayed. No fixed emotion is attached to the reversal.

  4. Make · 7 min. Child chooses AB or BA and an intention. Try the short phrase once if chosen/local checks permit, direct an adult, move a puppet or keep it on paper. The educator honours the finish and offers rest rather than another automatic turn.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask, “How will your reader know it's over?” Record whether the child selected the order/finish, which route happened and whether any actual viewer was present. No imagined response becomes a fact.

  6. Keep · 2 min. Save both order and intention. Tomorrow the whole AB unit can return.

Next teaching: If finish is treated as a movement, place it just beyond the moment frame. If order is secure, compare one unit and two units.
