Learner choices

Goal/codes: prepare a concise art explanation for a chosen audience; AC9AVAFD01/AC9AVAFC01 as evidenced, AC9AVAFP01 only on actual willing share. Prepare: art record, private conference route.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “An artist may explain a choice in words, signs, pointing or a short description.”
  2. Model · 4 min. With teacher's own fictional basket say, “Look at the wheel. I used dots as well as a red name. I changed the dots to make them larger.” Do not claim a viewer followed this.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child asks the teacher one neutral question about the model or corrects the teacher's description using visible evidence. Separate what the work shows from what the maker says they meant.
  4. Child art · 7 min. Child chooses one of their works or plans and prepares a two-part explanation: what to find and why I chose a cue. They may rehearse privately, sign, use AAC, direct an adult, or choose to share later. No public performance requirement.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record whether an actual audience was present, their exact response if any, and any adult prompting. Rehearsal to a puppet is preparation only.
  6. Close · 2 min. Child selects private teacher, willing peer, approved family channel, later or no share.
