Learner choices

Target/codes: respond to actual Page Turn purpose/source and choose an own use; partial FD01/FC01, narrow FE01 conditional on observed actual response. Prepare: supplied work/source, child piece, optional broad two-page model; invitation E.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “A maker can say why they made music. You can choose your own reason.” Offer Page Turn exact source/score access or pass; no family/community disclosure.
  2. Model · 4 min. Revisit the actual source statement: author-model intended to help learners explore backing repetition under change. Separate that stated intention from “children learned” or “people use this in libraries,” neither supported here.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child chooses which claim the source supports, or asks a question: made as a teaching model versus an invented human/community/performance claim. Ask an ordinary “What could someone try with it?”
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses an own use for their accompaniment—paper-book opening, picture change, toy stage or music alone—and tries or reads a short part. A different use from the author is allowed; actual benefit/meaning is not predetermined.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record actual encountered resource, source-backed idea and own proposal separately. FE01 is narrow partial responding, not aural evidence or full people/community coverage. Missing access/response remains held/unobserved.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep source card available for teachers; broader varied real works belong in the wider program with appropriate authority.
