Learner choices

Goal/codes: Use a fresh dramatic-text source and devise an own meaning with a role/action clue; honest enactment status. AC9ADRFD01 / AC9ADRFC01 partial / AC9ADRFE01 conditional/narrow.

Prepare: Held O only; own prop optional; exact alternative/drawing/director; key/models held.

  1. Invite · 3 min. Read the fresh source in short chunks. “This is a new saved dramatic text and drawing. The shown play has not happened here.”
  2. Model/source · 4 min. Ask neutral source/meaning/action prompts from STUDENT-CHECKS. Preserve first response/access; no preferred next story supplied.
  3. Choose · 5 min. Child invents a different meaning, role/place/action clue or chooses an own version of the invitation. No single correct arrangement/emotion.
  4. Play/make/direct · 7 min. Offer actual tiny play, adult-directed play or own drawing/script/PLAN ONLY. No required physical prop, voice, audience or transfer of a pictured action as observed fact.
  5. Notice/reflect · 4 min. Capture first work/choice/status before teacher key/examples. Components can continue later without timed finish; neutral support recorded.
  6. Finish/care · 2 min. After capture, plan next teaching. Child chooses privacy/pass, adult returns prop. Held case stays out of home rehearsal.

Next invitation if unobserved: Offer one meaningful child choice plus “your own” or a pass. Preserve current version/support; arrange another accessible making/play opportunity. A plan is not child enactment; adult contribution does not erase child authorship.
