Target/codes: compare a crowded frame with one that deliberately leaves an open region, and explain why; AC9AVAFD01, AC9AVAFC01. Prepare: C open area, broad fixed rectangle and three large invented shapes, C practice.
- Welcome · 3 min. Point to an area without a drawn shape on an invented card. Open paper is part of the image plan.
- Model · 4 min. Put the same two large shapes close together, then spread them to leave a broad clear region. Keep shape names and count stable.
- Try together · 5 min. Child names or indicates where a large card could sit without covering either shape. No precise left/right term is required.
- Child choice · 7 min. Child makes an invented menu cover with a clear region for an eventual title or an equally coherent open purpose. A blank title area is a plan, not a printed title.
- Notice · 4 min. Record which region was left open and the child's reason; do not score how much white paper remains.
- Close · 2 min. Keep the chosen arrangement; combine size, frame and open region tomorrow.
