The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Rewrite Dev’s plan”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “Dev’s plan”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How intrusive is it?” and “Two ways to find the stock”.
How you know they finished
