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 painted ladder ended at the clouds. I added one small landing.” Choose a new final line for humour/wonder/uncertainty/own purpose; imaginary scene only, no climbing. Adult may transcribe exact words. Prompt: “Why does this ending fit your purpose?” Notice a reason connected to actual line, not length or spelling support. Optional next: compare first and revised versions. This is outside F's signal/boat event and does not rehearse its response.
