Learner choices

Goal/codes: Choose an optional dry line or no line to develop an own picture. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01.

Prepare: Fresh dry paper; familiar dry tool; line-play aid; actual print only if adult confirms dryness/compatibility.

  1. Invite · 3 min. “Could your mark float alone, follow a wiggly path, or have a line friend?” Child can choose no line.
  2. Notice/model · 4 min. Show an original oval and a curved line beside it, then a line crossing it. They are digital choices. No physical paint order, predicted mix or actual feeling is known.
  3. Choose · 5 min. Child chooses line path/place/none and invented meaning; adult repeats child director instruction. Drawing on dry blank paper is always complete.
  4. Make/direct · 7 min. Make/direct an own dry picture or optional approved line on actually dry print. If wet/unconfirmed, use a separate dry version; no mandatory waiting/touch.
  5. Review/evidence · 4 min. “What does your line do in your picture?” Name actual graphic crossing/space if available; label attributed report. Do not convert invented path into a safe travel/help route.
  6. Care/finish · 2 min. Let child stop, change or keep; adult holds actual wet art separately.

If stuck / next move: Reduce to one offered choice plus “your own”; accept a pause/no response. Preserve first decision and current method, then plan one accessible next making opportunity. Do not turn access assistance into evidence of direct handling.
