Learner choices

Target/codes: Order safe steps and separate adult material preparation from a child's potential fold/stand action; AC9TDEFP01, planning evidence only.

  1. Welcome/purpose · 3 min. State the local gate: only teacher-approved full-size paper on a stable table, no cutting or forced handling.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Read safe stand steps: choose large sheet, fold broad base, stand on table, look/report.
  3. Model thinking · 5 min. Teacher shows an unfolded sheet and talks through a possible broad-base fold. It has not been stood. An adult checks edges/material and may do the fold if child chooses no touch.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Children order four broad step cards, choose self-fold/adult-directed/plan-only route, and name a stop condition, such as unstable table or uncomfortable handling. They identify what to observe: uprightness and whether labels can actually be read.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record ordered steps and who would handle material. If a child reports UPRIGHT before a real trial, recast it as a hope. If a child suggests a small clip or tape, return to the no-small-parts kit.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save plan; result remains NOT TRIED.
