The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Rewrite Priya’s assessment”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “Priya’s home set-up”, 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 useful assessment”; and “Two notes, one month later”.
