The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Check Ryan’s draft post”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “Chloe messages her manager”, a chat, 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 “Where one post goes”; and “Delete and tell, or leave it?”.
