The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Fix the driver plan”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “Just squeeze in one more drop”, 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 “A walk-round check” and “Rushed versus late”.
How you know they finished
The 12-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
