Learner choices

Goal: ask one observable path question and record a prediction before any approved actual event. Proposed codes: AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFU02 (conditional). Prepare: real-view plan, F/G, exact local approval decision, Card 123.

  1. Safety choice · 3 min. Adult records APPROVED / NOT APPROVED and whether a safe view is genuinely available. No timetable pressure to run one.
  2. Ask · 4 min. Contrast “Will the pad pause at MIDDLE?” with “Is this the best game?” The first has a visible event to check.
  3. Model · 5 min. Adult says “Before any real movement, I predict a pause might happen”; label it a prediction, not a result.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Card 123 routes create an observable question and own earlier prediction or choose NO PREDICTION. Record order and exact words.
  5. Probe · 4 min. Ask whether F's last frame answers the pause question; child names need for an approved full-path view.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Store the question and prior status separately from future raw results.
