Learner choices

Target/codes: Name a person-designed reference feature, pretend viewer and purpose; AC9TDEFK01. Real familiarity requires a later approved local source.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. A pretend drawing collector wants to look at two broad practice cards from the same starting edge. Say they are invented mark drawings, not Mika's family album or real plant records.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Show two drawing cards: CARD ONE and CARD TWO, each a square and dot with a different dot position. No rail or physical placement is shown.
  3. Model · 5 min. “A person could add a reference edge so both card bottoms start at the same place.” Explain intended help; matching paper edges does not prove the two sketches came from the same view.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Children name one guide feature and who might use it, then suggest another feature such as a thick line or large corner. Draw, speak, point, sign, use AAC or direct an adult. A real familiar classroom guide may be shown only with approval and the blank source slot.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record feature + user/purpose. If child only names dots, ask which part a person would design to position the paper. If they call the dots real change, return to “invented drawings.”
  6. Exit · 2 min. “The guide could help ___ put paper ___.”
