The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the four out-of-date rules”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “That’s how we’ve always done it”, 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 “The changes, in stages”; and “What you did before, what you do now”.
How you know they finished
The 13-question quiz mixes multiple choice and matching questions and returns to the opening story.
