Learner choices

Goal/codes: Encounter the original short dramatic text, respond and devise an own alternative; narrow conditional FE01. AC9ADRFD01 / AC9ADRFC01 partial / AC9ADRFE01 conditional/narrow.

Prepare: PROP-MODEL-09 source-scene; short saved-text portions; own prop/drawing route. Teacher reads SUPPLIED-WORK.

  1. Invite · 3 min. “Here is a little dramatic text: Card at the Lookout. It can give us an idea to play with.” Child may dislike or wonder.
  2. Model/source · 4 min. Read just one source moment, then the other if wanted. Name actual author/date/type and documented compare-story-meanings purpose briefly. Text/graphics are actual saved works; depicted enactments unmade.
  3. Choose · 5 min. “What did this text make you notice or imagine? What else could the card mean in your own story?” No copying or source praise required.
  4. Play/make/direct · 7 min. Child plays/directs/draws an own moment with a personally chosen prop meaning/role/action. An adult reading the text aloud is a read-aloud; actual role enactment must be separately recorded.
  5. Notice/reflect · 4 min. “How could this particular text help someone invent a story?” Record actual encounter/access and child response, bounded author purpose; no invented human/community performer or broad importance claim.
  6. Finish/care · 2 min. Private keeping is complete. Any actual approved external work encounter uses separate rights/authority record.

Next invitation if unobserved: Offer one meaningful child choice plus “your own” or a pass. Preserve current version/support; arrange another accessible making/play opportunity. A plan is not child enactment; adult contribution does not erase child authorship.
