Learner choices

Goal/codes: Choose a next observation time/question and keep its meaning local; SFI01, SFI02, SFI04.

Prepare: Original NOTE or actual available prior row. Safe item still approved; do not recreate an earlier result from memory as observation.

  1. Recall · 3 min. “What would you like to notice next?” Child chooses a new question, a later look, the same question again or finish. Do not supply a rebound target.

  2. Predict · 4 min. If a new try/look is chosen, capture prior idea before its observation. Name ordinary time/action: “when the hand leaves” or “after our conversation”; no imposed timer or fixed wait.

  3. Look · 7 min. One optional welcomed press/release or before-only look. Keep the actual moment/access clear. Model route rereads NOTE’s later observation and asks what a different earlier moment might leave unknown; no invented earlier result.

  4. Compare · 5 min. Compare only the available chosen feature with the child’s prior idea. A difference from an earlier row may include time, fold or action; don’t isolate material as its cause.

  5. Choose · 4 min. Child tells a willing adult a useful next question or keeps a private note. No repeat required to satisfy a quota.

  6. Keep · 2 min. Add one short new phrase only if it helps. Earlier unavailable/missing observations remain missing.

Teacher keeps: one useful shared source/stage phrase or sketch, relevant individual idea/response and support; actual direct/report/model status. Add missing facts only if needed for the claim. Do not fabricate a prior prediction, physical trial or willing audience.
