Learner choices

Goal/codes: Explore a dry rubbing and choose marks from the actual result. Partial AC9AVAFD01, AC9AVAFC01.

Prepare: Adult-tested master, top paper, approved broad crayon/holder and stable table; complete drawing alternative ready.

  1. Invite and choose · 3 min. Offer their made master or an original ready classroom master. Ask whether to rub, direct the adult or plan/draw. Touching relief is optional.
  2. Model · 4 min. Adult places paper over a master and makes a short comfortable rubbing. Lift paper and describe actual marks neutrally. Say, “The crayon marked the top paper. The card did not give it ink. These marks are what happened today.” Do not invent success if the trial fails.
  3. Explore · 5 min. Child chooses an area and readable tool colour/contrast. Adult holds paper or rubs on exact direction. Stop if slipping, effort or texture makes it unsuitable; do not ask for harder pressure.
  4. Make/direct · 7 min. Child makes/directs one small rubbing or chooses drawn paper. Ask, “Which marks do you want to keep?” Incomplete marks may be part of the art; one further small try is optional. Record actual maker/tool/marks or DRAWN PAPER / PLAN ONLY.
  5. Notice and next · 4 min. Compare actual paper with actual master or exact live description. Ask what appeared and what remains uncertain. A missing crayon mark does not prove a raised feature was absent. Record what was accessible, not an assumed independent visual observation.
  6. Clear and close · 2 min. Adult stores tool and fixed master. Child chooses keep/recycle under school rules; preserve actual work/plan and process status.

Look/listen for: selected actual marks versus predictions. If result is not useful, choose drawn-paper art and keep physical rubbing NOT TRIED or the exact failed attempt.
