Learner choices

Goal: share an accurate dated motion report with prediction, actual observation if available, relevant controls and one limit. Proposed codes: AC9SFH01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI04, AC9SFI05. Prepare: one real dated Week 3/4 log or Model N labelled fiction, evidence-report, Card 19.

  1. Choose source · 3 min. Select real log with date/conditions or write MODEL ONLY. Do not add a movement result to a blank log.
  2. Review · 4 min. Read question, prediction, action, actual result and what stayed the same; distinguish child's direct access from adult report.
  3. Model · 5 min. Teacher reports on Model N as fiction: “The invented A and B stop labels differ; I cannot know if shape caused it.” Identify missing controls.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Child chooses private speech, AAC/pointing, tactile sequence or drawing on Card 19; presents source/date, one result or NOT TESTED, one cautious conclusion and one next check. Adult records only actual sharing/response.
  5. Listener · 4 min. If a consenting listener genuinely asks something, capture their words and the child's answer. If not, write NO ACTUAL LISTENER RESPONSE; no imagined feedback claim.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Choose a clean question for a future safe investigation, not a presumed outcome.
