Day 23 · Two optional extras
The core stands alone. Choose one extra for about 8–12 minutes, or continue a draft at a comfortable pace.
Picture without colour
Describe the poem illustration using shape, position and labels. Pick one framing choice that makes an object more noticeable.
Gentle word swap
Try “dart”, “drift” and “land” for an imagined thought. Explain how the action changes the image, then choose your intended word.
Grown-up help
Choose one context and switch if it does not fit. You can read or hear the text, point, type, sign, use AAC, direct an adult’s drawing or dictate your exact words. Quiet/private work and rest are available. Listening, self-reading, planning, actual trying and actual presenting are different useful records. A grown-up can remove access barriers without choosing your ideas. No device, printer, purchase, account, recording or public upload is required. Pair any longer block with school-selected independent reading at the learner’s taught point. Extension adds challenge, not a barrier to the core.
