Learner choices

Goal/codes: Respond to a new source and create an own devised moment; intention versus actual reading/status separate. AC9ADRFD01 / AC9ADRFC01 partial / AC9ADRFE01 conditional/narrow / AC9ADRFP01 conditional.

Prepare: Held P; actual stable prop optional; drawing/director/no-contact; key/models held.

  1. Invite · 3 min. Read the new dramatic-text source/alternative, one chunk. “This is a saved text, not a recorded performance.”
  2. Model/source · 4 min. Use neutral source/meaning/role/action questions; do not translate the picture into a prescribed creative answer. Capture first response.
  3. Choose · 5 min. Child chooses another prop meaning/role/place/action or develops an own version with a chosen clue. No fixed correct layout/emotion.
  4. Play/make/direct · 7 min. Make a tiny actual play, director-supported play, original drawing/script or PLAN ONLY. If actually enacted, record who did what; no fictional audience testimony.
  5. Notice/reflect · 4 min. Capture first choice/work/status before key. Offer later short component without timed completion; no term grade from two cases.
  6. Finish/care · 2 min. Finish with private or actual willing use chosen by child. Parent key/source stays out of home practice; adult cares for prop.

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.
