Learner choices

Goal: Choose a finish for an actual short own recount/opinion and one useful reread.

Selected scope: AC9E1LY04 / AC9E1LY05 / AC9E1LY06 plus day-specific language/interaction/story/code components in crosswalk. Rich text is adult-read; independent print only after actual local match.

  1. My own finish first · 3 min. “What little text would you like to keep or make today?” Child chooses a private imagined event or opinion; no portfolio, prior product or public display prerequisite.

  2. A known-code component · 4 min. Read one eligible Day 39 line and encode one taught word. Record the actual attempt/prompt rather than deriving reading from the child’s art or dictated sentence. No automatic next grapheme or ck assumption.

  3. A richer thought · 5 min. Revisit one chosen G/H short part. Ask what a character intended and what the source actually reports; a proposed retrial outcome is unknown. Invite an original impossible or funny event, not a repeated evidence-audit answer.

  4. Make my kept version · 7 min. Child writes/types/directs a short actual written/multimodal recount or opinion. One bounded complete idea can be a useful component; allow richer oral vocabulary even when spelling is still supported. Preserve creative wording and maker/support.

  5. Reread for my purpose · 4 min. “Is there anything you would like to change?” Keep/change one sentence boundary, familiar proper-name capital, detail or spelling supported by the taught code. No compulsory title, copying, two pages or removal of child style.

  6. Keep privately or offer · 2 min. Agree local retention; sharing only if chosen and actually welcomed. A planned listener or model figure is not an actual listener; a private finished work remains useful.

Sample: one useful actual component, support and next teaching invitation; no whole-row score or invented player/listener/learner result.
