“What will your picture mean?”

Set up

Give two distinguishable choices explicit meanings. Use C03's art studio, blank picture areas and broad scrap cards. 15–25 minutes; no paint required.

Use scrap paper and three broad cards, or a familiar locally approved device. A short chosen part is enough. A wanted helper reads or constructs exactly as directed; name who chooses and who operates.

Run the session

1. Read the complete ordinary pair DRAW LINE / PLACE DOT.

2. Invite different own meanings, or keep these as practice.

3. Child chooses or directs an outline/pattern and literal key for each choice.

4. Put each key beside its picture and read it back.

5. Connect each choice to a matching page, rather than assuming a shape has universal meaning.

6. Ask a wanted reader which picture means one named job; retain the actual reply or “no reply recorded”, then revise or keep.

Choose a route

• 112a: Compose two original digital choice pictures from offered primitives, with keyed text and pattern rather than colour alone.

• 112b: Make two broad paper choice cards and match them to full destination cards.

• 112c: Direct an adult scribe/artist through one chosen meaning, then accept or change the read-back using usual communication. Same representation purpose; a drawing of a broad object is not actual object use.

Notice and next help

Specific meaning and distinction, not decorative neatness. If one mark has two meanings, model an unrelated C04 label-plus-pattern pair and offer another own key.
