Learner choices

Target/codes: Evaluate a stand against its purpose and propose a revision based on actual evidence or an explicit unknown; AC9TDEFP01.

  1. Welcome/purpose · 3 min. Explain that falling flat or unreadable labels are information for design, not failure.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Reopen each child's private Day 37 observation; if none, use the blank evidence mat and NOT TRIED.
  3. Model thinking · 5 min. Clearly hypothetical: “If the broad base folded inward and the stand lay flat, I might widen the base and try again.” Do not attribute this to a child or assert it will work.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Child chooses one change to base width, sheet stiffness, label size or position and says what would need checking. If safe and approved, an optional second trial gets a new event record; otherwise remain a plan.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record evidence → change → next criterion. If the revision changes decoration only, ask how it helps order or uprightness. If there is no observation, ask for an honest test question.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Complete “I observed/was told , so I would ,” or “I still need to test ___.”
