The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the four things to report”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “In the foyer”, 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 “Two foyers, one warning” and “From noticing to telling”.
How you know they finished
The 10-question quiz mixes multiple choice, true or false, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
