Learner choices

Target/codes: create/use an own short cue-form for a playful chosen purpose; partial AC9AMUFD01/FC01. Prepare: rehearsal, own recipes/route, original broad picture or no prop; invitation D.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “A puppet entrance, picture show—or music by itself?” Offer imagined props, private making/direct adults/silent routes/pass.
  2. Model · 4 min. Adult uses an original dot picture with one idea and ending, states proposed use and gives advance FINISH/STOP. A printed plan does not prove a maker followed it or a viewer understood it.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Decide cue operator/maker/reader and comfortable cue access. Read/rehearse one idea/ending, then put the adult model away.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses own short form/purpose, gives or directs agreed cues and tries with reviewed familiar quiet sound or silent section reading. Keep time to enjoy, stop, prefer another form or keep private.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save first plan and actual accessible observation separately; child's imaginative show meaning is a proposal. Nothing certifies real plant/weather/physical-model performance.
  6. Close · 2 min. Child keeps favourite version. Fresh pages held for tomorrow; no required concert.
