Learner choices

Target/codes: place the same paper figure near or far from a stationary prop in a fixed stage map, and explain possible scene intent; AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01. Prepare: E distance map, fixed broad stage/prop/figure cards, E practice.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Point to the prop and figure in an invented stage rectangle; this is stage space, not a rule about real personal distance.
  2. Model · 4 min. Keep prop fixed; move only paper figure from near to far. Name the changed relation without assigning an emotion or safety judgment.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child compares both pictures by view, fixed tactile map or description and names what stayed.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses near or far for a fictional repair table moment. Optional enactment stays within educator-cleared space and does not involve another child's body.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record figure position and child's intended question or idea. A paper map is not evidence of body control.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep chosen stage position; next time a figure may enter the marked space.
