Learner choices

Goal/codes: Choose an actual devised/enacted version to keep/refine privately or share with a willing person. AC9ADRFD01 / AC9ADRFC01 partial / AC9ADRFP01 conditional.

Prepare: Own actual version or a labelled new proposal; quiet-finish aid; actual audience only if freely willing.

  1. Invite · 3 min. “Which little story would you like to keep? You can play it once, draw it, or keep it just for you.” No best/worst ranking.
  2. Model/source · 4 min. Adult says reflection concerns real version: if no saved earlier work, use a new one and label it. Optional viewer may understand differently; no response supplied.
  3. Choose · 5 min. Child selects own role/meaning/action clue and one keep/change. Ask about privacy/use only after child chooses; no compulsory maker card.
  4. Play/make/direct · 7 min. Child plays/directs/refines an actual tiny moment or artifact. Any real sharing requires agreement and actual event; paper sharing is distinct from live enactment sharing.
  5. Notice/reflect · 4 min. “What did you intend? What did a real viewer say, if one agreed?” Exact words only; imagined recipient is not an audience. No learning-growth claim from polished art.
  6. Finish/care · 2 min. Child may end, save own drawing privately or pass. Adult applies storage/prop care without forcing an audience.

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.
