Learner choices

Target/codes: Two fictional roles can make a small scene by offering an idea and responding to it. The reply changes the next action. 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. Two fictional roles can make a small scene by offering an idea and responding to it. The reply changes the next action. State that our paper story is invented and a child may point, direct or pass.

  2. Model · 4 min. Use broad figures A and B. A points to a drawing and asks, “Could this go here?” B replies, “This corner is open.” A moves the drawing toward the corner. Read this as a possible script, not observed talk.

  3. Try together · 5 min. Swap B’s reply to “The corner is busy.” Children choose how A might respond without assuming either role’s feelings.

  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child directs A’s offer, B’s reply and A’s next action; show each role’s turn with separate cards.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask whether removing B’s reply changes what the audience can understand. Record one visible or spoken clue.

  6. Close · 2 min. Next lesson compares two choices after one reply.

Evidence/next step: If the second role vanishes, restore one response card; if clear, offer a nonverbal reply. See three same-goal routes, worked swaps and teacher-only key.
