Target/codes: The same fictional move can invite different plausible readings. We can describe a visible action without claiming what a character or audience truly feels. 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. The same fictional move can invite different plausible readings. We can describe a visible action without claiming what a character or audience truly feels. State that our paper story is invented and a child may point, direct or pass.

  2. Model · 4 min. Show figure A moving a card from table to wall. Say: “I can see a move. One possible idea is that A wants visitors to see it. Another is that A needs table space. The picture alone does not prove either.”

  3. Try together · 5 min. Children choose an intended meaning and add a separate clue: a point toward visitors or a table-clearing action. Compare what remains uncertain.

  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child draws/directs same action with one added clue, then says what they intend and what a fictional viewer might instead ask.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Check that at least one visible clue connects to the child’s intended idea; no mind reading.

  6. Close · 2 min. Next lesson gives each role a fair turn in deciding.

Evidence/next step: If inference is asserted as fact, model “I can see X; I might think Y; I cannot tell yet.” See three same-goal routes, worked swaps and teacher-only key.
