Learner choices

Target/codes: give two original four-place phrases roles and make an exact echo, T | T = X REST X REST / X REST X REST; AC9AMUFD01, AC9AMUFC01. Prepare: A call card, Practice A, two wide four-cell strips and role icons.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Show an inviting speech-bubble picture and explain that “call” and “answer” are labels for two positions in this invented musical plan; no child must call aloud.
  2. Model · 4 min. Lay T = X REST X REST under counts 1–4. Put another whole T in the reply position. Point to the phrase divider and say the reply echoes every mark.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child compares the two four-cell groups: local 1 and 3 have X, local 2 and 4 rest, eight beat places and four planned events total.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses a fictional paper scene or neutral plain pattern, assigns role icons, and directs an exact echo using cards, marks or optional approved sound.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record the full score, role order and the child's intention. A paper echo is not evidence that either phrase was heard or played.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the first T unchanged; tomorrow one answer mark can change.
