Flexible start: 25 minutes. Shorten, split, pause or revisit; no compulsory extra period.
Today's focus: Explore a real source or actual maker's work/account without inventing purpose, attendance or importance.
Short child invitation: 'What do you notice, or want to ask?'
Prepare: Privately review REAL-WORLD-CARDS and LOCAL-EXAMPLE-WORKFLOW. A dated brief publisher account is a text source; it is not viewing the announced performance. For the actual local-maker route prepare a saved original message and the willing maker's genuine account. If unavailable or declined, ordinary making starts immediately.
Make it fit today
Use broad existing paper/board and familiar locally suitable tools. An agreeing helper can make on the child's accepted creative directions. Check stable reachable work area, material/tool suitability and ordinary local arrangements first. No cutting, binding, small loose pieces, body task, device, purchase or printing is required. Never move the child's body or communication equipment to complete a work.
Read one prompt at a time; allow established speech, sign, pointing, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), exact description, wanted scribing, pauses and another sitting. These are choices for anyone, not diagnoses or fixed learning styles. Stop, rest, help, private keeping, changing the job and pass remain available. No name, health, address, family history or identity disclosure is needed.
Child creative decisions, child tool operation, helper operation and adult-added details are separate. Adult fabrication on actual accepted child direction can produce an actual child-authored work; it does not demonstrate child tool handling. Offered words/shapes chosen by the child are supported selections, not silent independent invention. An unmade specification stays a plan. Description access is not independent visual viewing. An imagined action, drawn user or planned message is not an actual event.
Run the session
-
Offer a real choice of encounter · 3 min. Name the reviewed source and medium. Child may choose a short factual account, an actual authorised work through view/exact description, or private making. Adult private source review alone is not child engagement.
-
Meet only the chosen source · 4 min. Read the short attributed past fact, or offer the actual authorised local work without supplying its meaning. State what was published or actually made, not that a show occurred or a reader was helped.
-
Receive one own noticing · 6 min. Ask the short child invitation. Accept an own question, mark, sign, AAC response, different interpretation or no response. A repeated publisher fact alone is recall, not how/why exploration.
-
Explore a scoped how or why · 6 min. Ask 'What might this message matter for?' Distinguish the genuine maker's stated account, the child's own connection and adult inference. For a real person/importance claim, use only their actual account or other appropriate source. Never generalise one maker to a community or claim an effect from a plan.
-
Try an own response · 4 min. Child chooses a different own message feature/process to try, rejects the source, or continues their earlier idea. No copying of choreography, commercial characters, photographs, logos or community-held designs.
-
Close precisely · 2 min. Record actual encountered medium/source, own contribution and support. Dated facts can prompt a conversation; they do not automatically establish FE01. Unavailable source/account/response remains unavailable.
Three individually adaptable activity routes
A short dated fact account
Choose a reviewed short publisher fact and one own question about what the information might be for. Record text encounter and interpretation, not performance viewing or a real community effect.
Access/attribution: Read one neutral sentence at a time and allow the child's usual communication or decline.
Ask an actual maker
After an actual authorised local work encounter, ask one willing maker a question through usual communication. Use only their genuine account or UNKNOWN; choose an own different making response if wanted.
Access/attribution: Exact approved description can replace direct viewing, with access and speaker identified.
Keep my studio private
Decline or postpone the source and make one own useful-in-play message instead. No encounter, real maker account or source-specific importance evidence is invented.
Access/attribution: A complete private making route requires no outside link or personal disclosure.
Look for; teach next
An actual chosen encounter and own scoped how/why exploration when elicited; child interpretation, genuine account and adult inference stay separate.
Next: Prepare a real permission-cleared work/account only if available; continue own making when absent rather than generating a human importance story.
Proposed partial code opportunities: AC9AMAFE01, AC9AMAFD01, AC9AMAFC01. Actual relevant evidence is needed; listing a code is not attainment.
