Learner choices

Goal/codes: choose a final quality and deliberate finish; proposed partial AC9ADAFD01 / AC9ADAFC01. Prepare: tiny phrase choices, or exact/no-print route.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Offer the child's earlier work or a new tiny piece. Check comfortable route and accessible stop; no source/key from yesterday's check is used as rehearsal.
  2. Try · 4 min. Try one short phrase with FLOW/PLACE/FLOW, or FLOW/PLACE/PLACE, before looking at marks; choose one or none. Child movement and actual directed-adult movement are distinct, or use object/plan. FINISH ends the artwork, not a body-freeze demand.
  3. Explore · 5 min. Compare Source D's same first two choices and two endings. Ask “How would you like yours to end?” A gently arriving ending need not mean strong/heavy; a connected ending can still finish clearly.
  4. Make · 7 min. Child makes an own ending for a pretend puppet scene, dance alone or own purpose. Offer one short rehearsal if wanted. Invent/keep/change/stop; their own meaning may differ from the example.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save only available ending/key/own reason and actual maker/route/help/date. FINISH is outside the movement moments and not another quality/action. No performance or audience evidence from a line.
  6. Close · 2 min. Rest/cool-down and keep the chosen version. Next time encounter an actual supplied score and its author purpose.

Next teaching: If finish is read as another action, place it just beyond the phrase, without requiring extra movement.
