Learner choices

Target/codes: choose whether a neutral paper box is present in a fictional workbench scene, and give a possible audience question; AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01. Prepare: A prop scene, broad fixed box card, A practice.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Revisit that a place and figure can stay the same while one story object changes. No real possessions are requested.
  2. Model · 4 min. Keep a paper figure at a drawn workbench. Show the stage first empty, then with one closed square box. Ask what a viewer might wonder; do not assign one feeling.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child identifies what changed and chooses a possible question, by cards, AAC, drawing or words.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child devises a two-moment fiction with box absent or present. If they opt into enactment, use a safe broad prop and educator-approved space; a paper-only plan remains the same devising target.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record child's prop decision and intended question. A paper score is not observed acting or an actual viewer's question.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the two versions; tomorrow a screen can hide a prop without changing the whole scene.
