Learner choices

Goal/codes: Share a useful actual question/prediction/observation or bounded model account with an optional willing listener. Partial/conditional opportunities: AC9SFU03 / AC9SFH01 / AC9SFI05.

Prepare: Child-selected source/row/parts aid; educator/willing listener or private rehearsal. Local preflight/access required; all physical actions adult-owned/approved.

  1. Choose an idea · 3 min. “Which question or observation would you like to tell?” Child selects what matters to them; one idea enough, no scientific speech/performance required.
  2. Name the source briefly · 4 min. “In our try…” only for actual trial; “The invented notebook reports…” for model. Material identity and form are different information.
  3. Make the message · 7 min. Use actual part/sample, prior prediction if available, observation and useful next question/unknown. Drawing/AAC/sign/scribed words welcome; no required handwriting or maker card.
  4. Share if wanted · 5 min. Actual educator or freely willing listener can hear/view the message; private rehearsal also valid. Keep real words only if someone actually responded, no supplied audience quote.
  5. Child chooses revision · 4 min. Keep/change one chosen word/picture or ask a new question. Different interpretation doesn’t prove a wrong child feeling or universal material rule.
  6. Finish · 2 min. Store private according to school rules. Keep AK held until Day 170 first response.

If not observed: keep the child’s question and access/contribution truthful. Offer a smaller welcomed route or later opportunity; pass/unavailable is not “cannot do.” Model/report can support reasoning, not invented direct sensory observation.
