The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Rewrite the yard rules for people on foot”, learners rewrite a realistic document line by line and see the effect of each choice. In “It’s quicker this way”, 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 “Where a driver can’t see you” and “Shrugged off or acted on”.
How you know they finished
