Learner choices

Target/codes: hold four pulse marks and compare an answer at count 3 with one at count 4; AC9AMUFD01, AC9AMUFC01. Prepare: E choice board, Practice F.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Revisit the two rows from Day 16. Ask where one answer appears, without saying one timing is better.
  2. Model · 4 min. Show ANSWER – – X – and – – – X under an unchanged PULSE X X X X. The X moves one place later; there is still exactly one answer.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child points down count 3 and count 4, comparing aligned rows. A tactile straightedge or AAC “three/four” can carry the same decision.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child picks which answer suits a fictional four-panel comic about offering a paper-tool tip, a toy sliding on a drawing, or their own impersonal scene; note why timing fits their story.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Count four pulse X marks and one answer X in either version. Do not call a silent page a real response from a partner.
  6. Close · 2 min. Save chosen answer timing; tomorrow the child can compose a new two-role variation.
