Learner choices

Target/codes: In the fictional paper display, a large sheet cannot fit on the narrow board. This is a story obstacle, not a real materials test. Primary: AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01. AC9ADRFP01 only if actual willing-audience sharing is separately witnessed; AC9ADRFE01 only with cleared real work. Prepare: Original aid print/text/tactile route, two broad neutral figures, blank action cards. See materials.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. In the fictional paper display, a large sheet cannot fit on the narrow board. This is a story obstacle, not a real materials test. State that our paper story is invented and a child may point, direct or pass.

  2. Model · 4 min. Model two pictures: sheet lifted toward a board, then sheet wider than the board. Say: “The character has an aim; this drawing tells us a difficulty.”

  3. Try together · 5 min. Try “same aim, new choice”: child chooses a wider imaginary wall, a smaller drawing, or a partner request. Acknowledge more than one workable fictional path.

  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child places a before, obstacle, and revised-action card in order; adult asks what the character wants to keep the same.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Point to what changed in the plan. No claim that a real sheet will fit or that a child feels frustrated.

  6. Close · 2 min. Keep both first and revised plans; Day 23 brings a second role.

Evidence/next step: If child only changes the aim, restate the original aim and invite a different action; if multiple solutions, compare visible clues. See three same-goal routes, worked swaps and teacher-only key.
