Learner choices

Target/codes: A short invented scene can show both roles offering a choice before a joint next step. Avoid depicting one child as always in charge. 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. A short invented scene can show both roles offering a choice before a joint next step. Avoid depicting one child as always in charge. State that our paper story is invented and a child may point, direct or pass.

  2. Model · 4 min. A says, “We could put the card here.” B says, “That blocks this space; what about the edge?” A indicates edge. Model that an offer, response and new action are separate.

  3. Try together · 5 min. Give B a different reason, “This edge is full.” Children propose a third action that keeps the original aim.

  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child makes three turn cards: A offer, B response, A or B next action. Roles can be neutral shapes.

  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask which turn gave a new piece of information. Respect a child’s choice not to act or disclose family examples.

  6. Close · 2 min. Next lesson makes the response visible without words.

Evidence/next step: If one role has no actual response, provide an open response prompt, not the answer. See three same-goal routes, worked swaps and teacher-only key.
