The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Rewrite Jess’s first week”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “Zara’s favour”, 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 “Doer to leader” and “Jess’s first 90 days”.
How you know they finished
The 11-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
