Learner choices

Target/codes: create one complete sound/wait idea for a later echo; partial AC9AMUFD01/FC01. Prepare: own score, broad four-choice strip/exact words; invitation B.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Choose four little sound-or-wait choices.” Offer invented two-picture/puppet-arrival/music-alone purpose, direct-adult/silent/reviewed source/private/pass.
  2. Model · 4 min. Adult idea sound/wait/wait/sound, local 1,4. Read each choice once over four comfortable shared beats; A then waits done at 5–6. Put model aside.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child directs four broad choices and reads them in order. A wait is a musical decision, not a requirement for still body/silent person.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses an own idea with one to three planned short sounds or own accessible open alternative, title/use or not stated. Read or try the four-beat idea with a reviewed source/direct adult/silent reader; no need to add B today.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save complete idea/own choices/support separately from actual maker/timing. Unmade sound is a plan; child's preference is not assigned emotion.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the idea private or choose another next time; no instrument/prop purchase.
