Goal: create/edit a short original viewpoint scene using purposeful image order, dialogue and a bounded inference. Proposed codes: AC9E5LA07, AC9E5LE05, AC9E5LY02, AC9E5LY06, AC9E5LY07. Prepare: Text C/D for reread, blank three-panel card and Card 19.

  1. Set audience · 3 min. Learner chooses a book-repair, garden-sign or game-equipment scene and a consenting small audience. State that invented character voices are fictional.
  2. Model · 4 min. Teacher sketches observed action, narrator assumption, later clarification in three panels; a caption order can hide or reveal the misunderstanding.
  3. Plan · 5 min. Learner maps one character's limited viewpoint, one exact observation, another possible explanation and a short quoted line with punctuation. Try a figurative and a plain version of one image, then choose the one that better serves the scene.
  4. Create · 7 min. Write/type/dictate 5–7 sentences or a comparably developed multimodal sequence with at least one deliberately expanded description; keep an independently authored first version.
  5. Share/edit · 4 min. Rehearse a brief version, then deliver it to a consenting listener with panels and a pace/volume or AAC timing chosen for that audience. Listener paraphrases known versus assumed and asks one clarifying question; writer changes a caption, sentence opening or dialogue for meaning.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Learner names which line or frame makes the viewpoint limit clear. Record actual spoken-presentation features only if delivery occurred; other communication modes remain valid work.
