Learner choices

Target/codes: identify a source-backed actual or imagined place feature and pose one question; AC9HSFK03, AC9HSFS01.

R opportunity: actual feature identification; familiarity/belonging needs its separate basis. See component decisions; no whole K03 outcome.

  1. Choose/play · 3 min. Offer actual R feature cue or P map. “Which shall we find?” R only after setup/current choice; a child can keep a response private or pass.

  2. Match/look · 4 min. Child first points/matches/directs one cue. P: STORY MAT on A. R: chosen actual feature from the fixed safe view or authorised equivalent. Read only matching source words; no walk required.

  3. Model · 5 min. P: ask “Where is STORY MAT on this map?” R: demonstrate one small question about the actual supplied feature, separating a viewed feature from an attributed account. Adult model is help, not independent child evidence.

  4. Make/direct · 7 min. Child chooses one source-visible feature and asks one small question: “What is here?” or their own. P fixed map; R actual source/view. Broad mark, sign/AAC, oral or directing adult all work; no school/home plan is required.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask “Which part helps us?” Capture one actual source-linked feature/question and help before feedback. R cue matching alone is not familiarity/belonging proof; note its separate basis where available.

  6. Exit · 2 min. Keep one cue/question or return/close it. “What shall we find next?” A question without an available answer stays open, not a failed curiosity task.

Next move: reuse one source kit, choose one small missing aspect next sitting and record actual extra time/help. No additional home return or private disclosure is needed.
