Learner choices

Target/codes: generate/communicate two design ideas and choose against a stated purpose; AC9TDEFP01 (partial plan, no making result). Prepare: two display ideas, broad blank paper.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Read the fictional brief: show one large neutral paper mark to a pretend reader.
  2. Notice · 4 min. Compare IDEA FLAT and IDEA FOLD drawings. Ask what is different in shape, not which one worked.
  3. Model · 5 min. Draw a third broad-paper idea, give a reason tied to reader view, and label the reason a prediction.
  4. Child route · 7 min. Day 4 A/B/C make two child-controlled marks/models, communicate a choice and say what a safe tabletop trial would check.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record both ideas, criterion and the child's own choice. If they claim a fold stood, ask whether one was actually made and tested; mark NOT TRIED if not.
  6. Close · 2 min. Store the idea to compare with later material results, without promising a winner.
