The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Check Ollie’s data pack”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “Martyn and the number”, 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 week to print” and “From flattering to honest”.
How you know they finished
The 11-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
