Learner choices

Target/codes: independently change one of two identical outlines so an invented GO/PAUSE paper guide remains distinguishable without its original red/blue colour labels, keeping both meanings; AC9AMAFD01, AC9AMAFC01. Prepare: public Check L, L A4, broad outline choices. Keep key closed.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. The source is a new fictional paper game, not a real traffic or safety sign.
  2. Access · 4 min. Show GO (was red circle) and PAUSE (was blue circle). On this black-and-white page both signs are identical circle outlines. Brief: keep meanings, change one sign so they can be told apart without colour.
  3. Independent plan · 5 min. Child chooses an outline, count or texture change for one sign, not a new meaning.
  4. Child response · 7 min. Child draws, selects, points or directs the revision and names the two resulting sign–meaning pairs. Save first response.
  5. Self-check · 4 min. Ask child to compare signs without colour and check that GO/PAUSE meanings still hold; do not suggest a particular replacement.
  6. Close · 2 min. Use separate key after response. Plan further authentic media, varied production and willing audience opportunities elsewhere in the year.
