Learner choices

Target/codes: keep an initial FIND beat, choose WAIT or SHOW next, and explain a possible scene effect; AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01. Prepare: C strip, broad FIND/WAIT/SHOW cards and child-selected F scene log.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Say a pause on a paper score is a planned beat; no child has to freeze or wait physically.
  2. Model · 4 min. Draw FIND→WAIT, then FIND→SHOW. The first card and setting remain fixed; only second action changes.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Ask which plan reveals the found paper object to another figure; neither entails an actual social encounter yet.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses a second action for an invented box story using a route, and states an intended audience question or focus.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Note planned pause/show and any actual enactment separately; do not infer performed timing from the card.
  6. Close · 2 min. Save scene plan for a three-beat extension.
