Goal/codes: distinguish a source-stated art subject from a child-invented visual detail; AC9AVAFD01. Prepare: boat source/choice card, exact read-aloud.
- Welcome · 3 min. “An illustrator can use a story and still make their own art choices. We need to know which is which.”
- Model · 4 min. Read the integrated source carefully: in the made-up story, Mika and Sol make cardboard boats; Ren showed how to fold the front; Sol made a paper flag. The text does not say the boat's colour, surface marks or shape of flag. On the aid, label “cardboard boat” story says and “short lines on side” artist chooses. These fictional people are not children's families.
- Together · 5 min. Child sorts two spoken statements: “Sol made a paper flag” is stated; “the flag has dots” is an illustrator's invention. Accept exact speech, pointing, sign, AAC or fixed broad labels. Do not ask a child for a personal family or migration story.
- Child art · 7 min. Child chooses one story-stated object and one invented visual mark decision for an original boat illustration or exact plan. They may choose short, long, close or spaced lines; no borrowed cultural motif. Adult reads the choice back and labels each part.
- Notice · 4 min. Record story fact, child-added art mark and actual marker/handler separately. If a child thinks the colour was in the story, reread the exact source and leave that field unknown.
- Close · 2 min. “The story says ; my picture adds .”
