Goal/codes: explore a colour plus named-mark choice for an imagined picture; AC9AVAFD01. Prepare: colour and cue, blank page or exact description.
- Welcome · 3 min. Say, “Last week we made a path and a beat. This week we can choose a colour and a mark together. What might a viewer notice?”
- Model · 4 min. Read the invented card: “BLUE CIRCLE, with dots; ORANGE TRIANGLE, with long lines.” Show that each remains different if printed without colour. Say the names rather than asking a child to guess a hue.
- Try together · 5 min. Cover the colour words; invite a child to identify circle/dots and triangle/lines by sight, exact reading, fixed broad tactile outline or AAC. Reveal the words. Ask which part made their answer possible.
- Child art · 7 min. Child selects a harmless imagined object—parcel, watering can, toy tunnel or own idea—and proposes one colour plus one non-colour cue for its important part. Draw, direct an adult, point to options or describe a plan. Do not infer an emotion from their colour.
- Notice · 4 min. Record chosen part, colour name, second cue and who actually made the mark. If the second cue cannot yet be named, offer a two-option shape contrast and try again without choosing for the child.
- Close · 2 min. “My important part is ; you can find it by .”
