# Fresh F — The signal that changed

Read through your usual text access. You may use exact read-aloud, sign/AAC, your own marks, typing or a literal scribe. Keep the source open. Take a break or continue later. Objects and actions are fictional; no real setup or performance is required. No compulsory length or public sharing.



Eight-line original poem, new event and imagery, outside ordinary C/D:

F1. I hung a paper star at the door.

F2. It meant, “Come in; there is more.”

F3. At closing, I turned it to face the wall.

F4. The ribbon beneath it did not fall.

F5. Someone drew a little boat on the back;

F6. I left that bright sail on its quiet track.

F7. Tomorrow the door may open again.

F8. For now, the boat waits out the rain.

### Clean first-response prompts

1. Choose a purpose for your new short literary text: surprise, wonder, gentle humour, suspense or another purpose. Choose its intended private reader, or make it for your own reading.
2. Borrow one identifiable character, setting, event or idea from the poem. Make your own scene, story moment or poem that changes something meaningful. A small first component is sufficient for capture; continue later if useful.
3. Make one language choice that helps your purpose. Explain your choice through exact words in your own text.
4. Keep your first version. Edit one part for a reason. Explain what the change does and name what you adapted from F. You may change your purpose if you explain it.

The source is available throughout. No answer bank, completed plot, model ending or sentence stem supplies the adaptation. Learners may compose in a chosen accessible mode with literal transcription. A plan alone stays a plan; an actual text is creation. Editing a teacher-written paragraph is not the learner's own first composition. Optional later compilation/delivery is separate from first response.
