An optional free 5–15-minute encounter; stop or return another time. No homework return, earlier lesson, print, purchase, device or personal disclosure. A familiar adult may read these exact words and record only the learner's chosen words. Quiet thinking, sign/AAC and literal dictation are welcome; adult invention is not learner composition. All objects/events below may stay imagined.
Read “The spoon was a silver canoe on the napkin sea.” Imagine a spoon or replace it with pencil/cup/wholly invented object; no moving/eating utensil needed. Choose a two-line poem or plain explanation of the image. Prompt: “What makes those two things go together?” Notice a meaningful shared shape/action/setting; a different image is accepted. Optional next: change sea to road and decide whether canoe still fits.
