Learner choices

Goal: create and shared-edit a short explanation that names the source, one result and one limit. Proposed codes: AC9EFLA09, AC9EFLY06, AC9EFLY07, AC9EFLY13. Prepare: C/D, claim/evidence mat, first/revised record, consenting listener, Card 169.

  1. Oral/print · 3 min. Blend one already taught CVC or use a spoken phoneme manipulation; log child-selected letters separately from adult source reading.
  2. Model · 4 min. Say “In Ari's one report, card stayed whole under the disk.” Point to first capital and sentence stop. Adult supplies untaught spellings.
  3. Guide · 5 min. Pair a claim with exact C evidence and place “different load” in STILL TO TEST. Use actual class result only if a real approved test occurred and was recorded.
  4. Create · 7 min. Child chooses paper display, toy shade or card holder context; dictates/writes/signs/selects a one- or two-sentence bounded report, source named. Adult scribes verbatim.
  5. Listener/edit · 4 min. Chosen listener repeats understood evidence; child improves one meaningful word or limit. Keep first/revised versions and adult aid separate; peer spoken-delivery evidence only if actually spoken to peers.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Ask what the report does not prove. Hold Day 170 source entirely unseen.
