A low-burden start

Read the complete ordinary story and companion/review once. Prepare one copy in the student's chosen accessible mode: the three story print pages plus contrast/review page, large/plain text, agreed neutral read-aloud or accessible digital text. Only broad paper and an ordinary locally approved writing/inscription option are needed; no new purchase, camera, account, audio file or public upload.
Keep Fresh A/35 and B/40 and their key separate until their respective task. The ordinary packet has no fresh story facts. These are public materials, so check known previous exposure and substitute a locally new equivalent if novelty matters.
Offer a student-chosen imagined/private audience and purpose. No personal room, family, health, identity, cultural or migration account is required. Students can rest/pass, change route, keep an unmade plan or continue later. A willing peer/teacher can decline reading; no feedback is invented.
One actual draft/annotation/choice is a useful partial start. Do not require every form, route, paragraph, device or word-range guide. A shared teacher note can record source/mode, relevant support and the actual response sampled; do not make everyone complete a provenance form. Keep student text in approved private systems, never the public repository or automatic upload.
Use the 50-minute plan or split after Step 3 into two 25-minute sittings. Save the actual text/plan at the break. Resume by rereading the student's chosen part, without pretending a prior draft exists. Timings and preparation burden are author desk estimates, not classroom measurements.

Evidence and access

AAC means augmentative and alternative communication. Options include paper/keyboard, sign, AAC, dictation, exact read-aloud, broad strips and student-directed adult inscription. Support is negotiated with the learner and school; no fixed learning-style/diagnostic grouping. Heard text can support interpretation without proving independent decoding. A student's exact dictated language is their composition with inscription support; adult-provided sentences remain adult wording. Selecting/reordering supplied text demonstrates those choices, not independent original composition of every line. A plan, script, described sequence, actual making, actual performance/use and a willing reader's actual response are separate. A self-read/current preference can guide evaluation; earlier drafts and improvement are not assumed.

Whole-story access can span sittings. Start with one chosen paragraph and its surrounding context; return to the rest before making a whole-story claim. The student may give a short supported interpretation rather than an exhaustive device list. Private analysis/creative fiction is complete for its stated purpose; no performed/published product is necessary. Exact linear/tactile/no-print alternatives keep all words and source relationships. Broad raised labels are optional models of layout, not a substitute for reading the actual language. Searchable PDFs are untagged; screen-reader/tactile access has not been human-tested.

Optional school-selected lawful text route — fully runnable

Use the originals immediately if no alternative is ready. A Queensland English educator may instead choose a locally available, lawful, age-appropriate text that fits the actual school course and current text-selection plan. This is a prepared opportunity, not a blank requirement to obtain new books.

Select and locate: take a complete work already lawfully accessible through the school/library/student copy. Identify a manageable self-contained scene with a meaningful change in attention, value or narrator. Record title/creator, actual edition/source and exact paragraph/page/time locators in the teacher note. An excerpt supports its own scope; it does not automatically fulfil a complete-work category. Check the syllabus prohibition on reusing Unit 1/2 study texts in Units 3–4 and school plans before selecting. Do not publish copyrighted substitute text into this pack.
Check context and authority: obtain any teaching context from an actual reliable source, not a guess from name/appearance. Name only established creator/context facts. For an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander work, the school obtains lawful access and appropriate cultural/ICIP guidance/authority for the particular content; no impersonation, invented translation, generalised community meaning or automatic consent is supplied here. Course-required texts still need actual school selection.
Prepare access: provide the actual authorised text or exact school-approved accessible version and locators, not a fabricated summary. Agree read-aloud/large-text/sign/AAC/inscription support. If no usable version exists, retain the original supplied route or a bounded planning response; never pretend an inaccessible work was read.
Run Days 31–33: substitute that actual scene's locators for S labels. Ask “What catches this narrator's attention first?”, “Which later words complicate it?”, “What value does that repeated detail invite us to consider?” Student begins an own opening/transformation/motif and can choose a fully invented alternative instead of disclosing lived experience. The teacher reads a short exact source phrase when asked, without supplying a single correct interpretation.
Run Days 34/36–39: use a genuinely sourced contrasting perspective or let students create their own companion from the scene. Ask for a thesis and competing reading, source anchors, purposeful voice/sequence and a critical introduction. A companion is student invention, not the original author's unstated thought. Student self-review is sufficient; actual willing feedback is optional. Keep a short record of what really exists and chosen supports.
Fresh equivalent: for 35/40 choose a genuinely new authorised self-contained scene with different characters/motif/structure, or use the supplied fresh texts. Preserve task openness and selected objective; do not give a worked interpretation first. Record prior exposure and exact first response. School professional judgement determines any formal instrument and conditions; this local substitution is not a certified test.

No substitution, learner response, actual reading event, feedback or authority is supplied centrally. This workflow prepares adaptable teaching without requiring pilot data to author it. Rights, privacy, source availability and learner access are local checks.
