Learner choices

Target/codes: choose one visible continuity anchor across two scenes and one deliberate place change; AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01 partial. Prepare: B same/changed, figure A, square card, DESK and SHELF mats.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Show two frames without labels. Ask what might help a viewer recognise A in both.
  2. Model · 4 min. Match the same broad figure A across frames; change only desk to shelf. Name the square card as a second possible anchor, not a new role.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child finds A/card in both pictures and names one changed setting clue through point, word, tactile tag or AAC.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses whether the figure or card is easiest to follow, makes an original pair of scene mats and explains which piece stays and which setting changes. Permit a child-directed puppet shift without requiring role speech.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record the chosen anchor and source-backed change; if two frames look identical, invite a clearer place cue after saving first work.
  6. Close · 2 min. Ask what a viewer needs to notice before a scene changes.
