Learner choices

Target/codes: If school-approved, use large paper and steps safely to make/stand a cue and report the actual outcome; AC9TDEFP01 conditional material evidence.

  1. Welcome/purpose · 3 min. Confirm stable table, approved full-size sheet, child choice and no-touch alternative. Stop if any gate fails.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Re-read safe stand steps; choose the child’s existing cue front. The options UPRIGHT / FLAT / NOT TRIED are blank.
  3. Model recording · 5 min. Show design evidence mat. Explain separate fields for who folded/placed, stand position, and actual reading from a safe location; do not prefill.
  4. Child trial or plan · 7 min. Under approval, child folds a broad base and stands it, or precisely directs an adult who does it. Record actual upright/flat/other result and whether the printed order was actually readable by a consenting reader. If no trial, child describes steps and records NOT TRIED; reader response unknown.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask “Who folded it? What happened on this table? Which words could someone actually read?” Correct an invented success to a prediction. Child direction is design agency, not child paper handling.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save actual observation or explicit untried plan, plus one question.
