Learner choices

Target/codes: Identify a person-designed feature, pretend user and purpose; AC9TDEFK01. An authentic familiar product is locally conditional.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Tell the class a pretend picture curator has ten large paper picture cards and wants each to have a visible place. The teacher supplies “ten” as a design brief, not a child counting result.
  2. Read source · 4 min. Show ten-card brief: ten abstract cards labelled CARD 1–CARD 10 in a loose practice group, not placed on a board.
  3. Model · 5 min. Say, “A person might draw a place for each card so someone can see if one is left out.” This is a purpose and predicted benefit; no curator has tried a board.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Child points, tells, draws or directs an adult to show one useful feature (spaces, a card home, boundary or label) and names whom it might help. If the school approves a real familiar tool, record its provenance and child-seen feature on local source slot.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record child feature + purpose, not a correctness claim about ten. If the child names only a favourite colour, ask what part helps the pretend curator find a card. If they say the printed cards were used, ask who actually used them.
  6. Exit · 2 min. “A person designed ___ to help ___.”
