Open ordinary learner choices

Learner: “Choose what to borrow and what to change. Who is your new piece for?” Revisit A/B/C/D/S. Learner chooses a useful literary purpose: entertain a private reader, offer wonder, make gentle humour, explore uncertainty or create for own enjoyment. Teacher models W11's borrowing/meaningful transformation and clearly labels it as a new text. Guide source-element/new-element planning. Begin an actual first line/scene unit now; a finished planner alone is not composition. Exit: identifiable borrowing, own change, purpose and an actual new component.
