Whose eyes are we using? Keep the event. Change what the character notices.
Before you begin
The complete matched C source travels with this offer; an adult can read it. It is ordinary taught material, not an unseen case.
First adult words
-
Tell the ferry event from the pebble’s view using the supplied story. A familiar adult can be the audience, or the child can keep it private.
-
Read the matched fictional source together. Ask which reader or character the child wants to help. Use the child direction: ‘Whose eyes are we using? Keep the event. Change what the character notices.’
-
Offer scrap paper, objects, pointing, speech/sign or exact dictation. Stop after one useful small piece; no class workbook or internet is required.
Later adult words
-
Invite the child to show one part and explain it using the source. If useful, ask the supplied reader question or reread the relevant source detail.
-
Look for a preserved event and a specific changed noticing or language effect. Preferences need a reason tied to the story, not agreement with the teacher’s taste.
-
If you supply a word, answer, model or pen work, say so in a note. Keep the piece private unless you and the child choose a permitted reader. This offer is not an independent assessment by itself.
Optional extra
Return to the second matched ordinary source C10 for the same day's purpose, introducing its full source first. Do not quietly switch to a different day or held case.
Time
5–15 minutes suggested, unpiloted; stop, shorten or resume.
