Foundation / Queensland Prep · Drama · Term 1 Weeks 9–10 · Days 41–50 · ten 25-minute sessions · 0.1.0-draft · 30 September 2026
What could one ordinary card, cloth or empty tabletop box become in a story? A child chooses an imagined object, role and place, then plays one tiny moment. Change a meaning, keep a favourite clue, invent a surprise, or stop at one action. Quiet gestures, optional voice, child-directed adult enactment, drawing and a no-contact plan are welcome. The story belongs to the child. There is no required costume, intricate propmaking, polished show, audience or worksheet performance.
This follows Weeks 1–8: earlier prop presence/reveal and linked moments now become imaginative prop substitution and tiny improvisation. Integrated W9 separates representations from real objects/data; here the child chooses a fictional meaning for an ordinary prop, not a data answer. W10 revisits actual work; here a change may be intended meaning/action, not measured learning growth or a public portfolio.
Start with one short invitation
- Prepare one familiar approved prop or complete no-contact route. Everything stays tabletop, including an ordinary empty box if chosen; no entering containers or using them as seats, placing props on/over heads, bodies or faces, tying, climbing, food, real tools or new costumes.
- Ten daily scripts and 30 same-goal routes / ten optional home bridges. Adult reads one short prompt; actual play comes first.
- 20 worked choice domains, ten optional playful extensions, plain read-aloud invitations. Do not rehearse held O/P.
- Nine original illustrated A4 SVG/PDF pairs and exact alternatives. Large scene pictures first; no need print all pages. PDFs searchable, not tagged; linear Markdown is the reading copy.
- Optional offline scene planner, complete with paper/noJS route. Screen proposals are not enacted drama.
- Held fresh O/P, separate examples/key. Open creative responses, first capture before models, components may continue later without timed finish.
An actual child-devised drawing/director-created artifact preserves authorship; it is not automatically child enactment. Actual child role gesture, actual adult enactment, saved drawing/script, words-only plan and actual sharing are recorded separately. Intention is not a guaranteed audience reading. Private work/choice to pass is valid; actual performance evidence needs an agreed accessible enactment when available.
Supplied original dramatic text/purpose · crosswalk · rights/receipts · actual source/audience gate · pins · desk critique · manifest. Narrow actual saved-text encounter plus child's response/known author purpose can support partial conditional FE01. It is not a performed human/community source or all FE01 breadth.

Portable reproduction for adult review
Use Python 3 with pypdf (author version 5.1.0), DejaVu Sans, librsvg rsvg-convert, Poppler pdftotext and Node. Browser audit also needs a locally installed Playwright runtime/Chromium, configured using that runtime's setup directions. From this pack: python3 print/generate_print.py deliberately rebuilds pairs; python3 verify_pack.py is read-only and uses temporary rebuilds/negative copies; --write-manifest explicitly refreshes hashes after authoring. node digital/qa_browser.cjs is read-only; --capture explicitly writes previews. No private workstation paths or shared-map edits required.
