Target/codes: compose two-event opening, different middle and exact return in a child-chosen familiar key; AC9AMUFD01, AC9AMUFC01. Prepare: G maker/reader board, Practice G, broad cards.
- Welcome · 3 min. Child can use L/H or A/B, or a locally approved equally clear two-mark key. One key stays consistent within the score.
- Model · 4 min. Adult practice uses pitch
H L | H H | H L; explain middle place 4 differs and final exactly copies opening. Put this example away before child creates. - Try together · 5 min. Child directs a change to a separate adult practice copy and checks that final still matches their opening.
- Child choice · 7 min. Child authors six marks for a chosen interest or plain music idea. Save first score, key and child's intended structure; allow silent, AAC and neutral-scribe routes.
- Notice · 4 min. Record actual child's three pairs, their explained contrast and whether return is exact. Do not silently repair their first answer.
- Close · 2 min. Child may invite a willing reader tomorrow or keep the work private.
