The Silent Space ParadeYear 2 English · T2 W11–12 · Assessment / B later source · Text version

In an imagined cardboard space station, Tess carried a paper comet flag. “I want the parade to start with my comet,” Tess said. Ari held a sleeping-robot drawing. “I want a quiet beginning for this robot story,” Ari said. They had no agreed beginning. Tess waved the flag once without sound. Ari lifted the robot picture. “The robot wakes when it sees the comet,” Ari said. They began their new scene that way, then drew little planets. No one has to perform or make a sound to hear this story. It says nothing about real robot behaviour or anyone's sensory needs.
