Learner choices

Target/codes: choose layer order for two broad shapes and state a visual intention; AC9AVAFD01 and AC9AVAFC01. Prepare: layer order, adult-prepared large fixed cards if physical route approved.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. A collage is built from chosen pieces; drawing an overlap is a plan unless pieces are actually arranged.
  2. Model · 4 min. Show CURVED PIECE front and ANGLED PIECE front. Name which edge disappears in each drawing; the page does not prove how either material bends or stays attached.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child identifies front/behind by visible edge, exact description or adult-controlled broad fixed pieces. Invite an “apart” idea if that better serves their own image.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child makes or directs a two-layer arrangement for an invented scene. If adult-approved, child may place large blunt pieces on stable paper; otherwise direct/draw/spoken-plan. No glue or cutting is required.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record layer order, child intention and exact physical placer if any. If the paper falls or shifts, describe what happened instead of silently fixing it into a claimed success.
  6. Close · 2 min. Save or describe the selected order for tomorrow's collage.
