The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Write Priya’s concern”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “Wayne says leave 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 “What detriment looks like” and “Two versions of May”.
How you know they finished
