Learner choices

Target/codes: Pose an answerable question about a fictional person/source and distinguish family relation from room role; AC9HSFS01.

Boundary: AC9HSFK01 remains an authentic own-family hold.

  1. Settle/purpose · 3 min. Tell children the names and Paper Harbor Room are invented; no one has to speak about their own family.
  2. Read source · 4 min. Read Paper Harbor people slowly. Fio and Kit are siblings; Ren is their aunt; Vale is a volunteer. Point to what is stated and what is not.
  3. Model inquiry · 5 min. Ask “How are Fio and Kit connected?” Answer from the printed line. Then ask “Is Vale their cousin?” Model “The card does not say,” rather than guessing from appearance, name or volunteer role.
  4. Child response · 7 min. Each child chooses one answerable question and one question the source cannot yet answer, using cards, speech, AAC, drawing or an adult scribe. Accept a respectful “Would they like to tell us?” for a missing detail.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record exact child question and source line. If a child treats volunteer as family, ask which words say that. If a question demands a child's own family fact, redirect to a fictional character or offer private optional participation later.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child completes “I know ___ because the card says ; I do not know .”
