Goal: recount the story and construct one simple sentence with a clear boundary. Codes: AC9E1LA06, AC9E1LY06, AC9E1LE03, AC9E1LY04. Prepare: story, Day 14 choice, blank sentence strip.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Ask for the Week 3 story's characters and place without a printed cue. Allow a partner reminder, then note whether it was prompted.
- Model · 5 min. Reread the final paragraph aloud. Model “Nia made a map.” as one complete idea; start with capital
N, leave spaces, finish with a full stop. The model is adult-written, not a controlled child-reading assignment. - Guide · 7 min. Partners retell first, problem, response, last. Point to the story evidence for a correction. Read a chosen Day 14 controlled strip together; identify who/what and did what.
- Child try · 7 min. Each learner makes one new sentence about the story or chosen fictional context. They may dictate richer words to a scribe; the adult marks exactly what was supplied. Writers reread their own sentence and check capital, word spaces and full stop.
- Exit · 3 min. Show a sentence without its final dot, Sam can sit. Ask where an idea ends and what mark will show it. If the child points inside a word, move a token after the last word and reread once.
Access/home/extension: Use three tactile event objects or picture choices; no home plant needed. Extension: make a second sentence that changes the action and explain why the two ideas need separate boundaries.
