Learner choices

Target/codes: Generate, communicate and select two distinct alignment-guide ideas; AC9TDEFP01.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Two designs give a maker a choice before marking a big sheet.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Reopen two drawing cards. The square/dot differences are fictional; the job is to position the paper edges consistently.
  3. Model · 5 min. Sketch a thick bottom line and, separately, two widely spaced corner marks. Name both as ideas without choosing a physical result.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Child draws, describes, signs or directs an adult to show two truly different broad guides, chooses one for the stated card shape and says why a viewer might find it.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record both ideas and choice. If ideas only change colour, invite a different edge, corner or label that works without colour. If a card covers the guide, ask what a person could still see.
  6. Exit · 2 min. “I would try ___ first because ___.”
