Learner choices

Target/codes: Compare two human-designed layouts against a two-step purpose; AC9TDEFK01 and AC9TDEFP01, proposal only.

  1. Welcome/purpose · 3 min. Revisit the two fictional action labels and the need to keep order visible.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Show layout ideas: STACKED IDEA and SIDE-BY-SIDE IDEA. Both are untested drawings.
  3. Model thinking · 5 min. Compare where the first action would go in each design. Say a left-to-right card may suit some reading contexts; a top-to-bottom card may suit a narrow table space. Neither has been read by a real user.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Children choose a layout for a fictional wide table or narrow shelf and explain how a pretend maker can tell which comes first. Invite a second choice under a changed space condition.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record two distinct layouts and one purpose-linked reason. If “best” is asserted without context, ask “Best for which user and where?” If order reverses, read the source again.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child names one feature that shows FIRST.
