Learner choices

Target/codes: communicate a human-designed page-help solution and evaluate its stated purpose for a different pretend reader; AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01 (partial/conditional). Prepare: school real-source slot, safe step sheet, broad paper.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Introduce a new fictional reader who wants to turn a large map page; do not assume what a real person wants or can do.
  2. Notice · 4 min. Ask which existing feature is meant to help a person find the page edge. If a school-approved familiar product is available, compare an actual feature separately.
  3. Model · 5 min. Give a precise child-friendly instruction: “Find the broad tab, lift gently, turn one page.” Say a reader's understanding is unknown until asked/observed.
  4. Child route · 7 min. Day 19 A/B/C create/choose three ordered directions for their design and, if permitted, demonstrate on real broad paper. Ask a consenting pretend-reader puppet/teacher to follow only if an actual interaction occurs.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record child directions, any real observed action and adult prompts. A fictional puppet's scripted “success” is not real feedback; ask what remains to test.
  6. Close · 2 min. Child names one purpose and one evidence limit without claiming universal usability.
