Learner choices

Target/codes: Compare question wording from D, choose an answerable non-assuming question and preserve the right to pass; AC9HSFS01, AC9HSFS02 and AC9HSFS04 partial, AC9HSFK02 fictional concept rehearsal only.

  1. Settle/purpose · 3 min. Say questions can invite or assume; no child must answer about themself.
  2. Read source · 4 min. Read all four D cards verbatim. Ask which already claims that everyone celebrated or Jun did not care.
  3. Model inquiry · 5 min. Place “Did you make a strip?” under CAN ASK and “Why did everyone celebrate?” under ASSUMES ALL. Offer “You may pass.”
  4. Child response · 7 min. Child sorts two assumption cards and two open/optional cards, then rewrites one assumption without demanding a reason.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. If “Did you?” still feels too direct for a listener, accept a third-person question about sources. No real interview is required.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save one respectful question for a paper source-choice lesson.

Next move: If a child repeats a presumptive line, show exactly which unsupported claim it contains. See routes and worked swaps.
