Describe levels without forcing poses

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The supplied seated figure has a chest reference line. HandA is above it, handB is on it and handC is below it. Relative to the chest, A is higher, B is at the reference and C is lower. This comparison remains valid on paper even when a learner cannot or does not want to make the illustrated positions.
• A hand dot is above the labeled chest line. Which comparison fits?
• A hand dot lies on the labeled shoulder line. Which fits?
• A hand dot lies below the labeled head line. Which fits?
• A diagram asks high or low but gives no reference. What fits?
• A hand dot lies on a line labeled table level. Which fits?
• A hand dot lies above a line labeled knee level. Which fits?

Learn the idea

High, middle and low describe relative positions in a drawing. A hand drawn above the head is higher than the same hand at the chest. These are comparisons in the model, not fixed positions everyone must reach.

Compare one part with a labeled reference. Changing the reference can change the description. A seated figure can show different hand levels on paper just as a standing figure can. Different bodies have different comfortable movement ranges.

Draw all examples; physical poses are optional and never needed for completion. Do not reach into pain, climb furniture or compare people by flexibility. We assess whether the labels match the drawing, not how a body performs.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Find the labeled reference line. Compare the hand dot with that line: above, on, or below. No pose is required.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Draw a seated figure with three hand dots above, on and below a chest line. Expected: correct relative labels, no physical pose required.
