Learner choices

Target/codes: Sequence a safe mat-making and card-placement plan, naming adult preparation and child choice; AC9TDEFP01, planning only.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Adults check the table and large paper. A child can choose no touch; a spoken plan counts as thinking.
  2. Read source · 4 min. Read safe mat steps: check large page; label two sources; place large cards; look and report. The status STAYED / MOVED / NOT TRIED is unselected.
  3. Model · 5 min. Show an unmarked, unfolded large page. Verbally plan where the boundary might go. Do not announce a placement result or pretend the page was tried.
  4. Child response · 7 min. Children put four large step words in order, say who would prepare/label/place, and choose self-handling, adult-directed or spoken-plan route. Ask what would stop a try: unsuitable paper, cluttered table, unwilling handling or no approval.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record ordered steps and likely handler. If the child says cards stayed already, restate it as a prediction; if tiny loose pieces are proposed, return to large full-page cards.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save the plan with NOT TRIED.
