๐ Builders: The Language Pass
A fully interactive B1.1 Showcase polish lesson (writing) from the Builders' Studio series for teens (ages 10-13). Learners become their own editors and run three targeted accuracy passes over the showcase piece they chose. Part 2 is a self-edit toolkit built as three passes: the Pivot Check (finished time takes past simple, life time or hot news takes present perfect, with a signal-word hunt), the Conditional Check (if + present simple, then will + base verb, never 'will' in the if-part, plus unless warnings and the comma), and the PREP Check (a Point-Reason-Example-Point table that pushes learners to make reasons precise, not vague). Ten editing words (accuracy, pivot, tense, proofread, error, correct, fix, checklist, signal, precise) appear in a scrollable table and six on flashcards. The reading, Polish Week, shows Aylin fixing a pivot crack, Marco removing an extra 'will', Priya sharpening a weak PREP reason and Sam using a buddy for a second pair of eyes, with eight hover-tooltip words. Practice is 8 fix-the-crack fill-ins across pivot, conditional and PREP with live checking, hints and a score. Speaking gives five buddy cross-check prompts and a model six-line dialogue that names cracks kindly and agrees fixes. The writing task logs three corrections as before-and-after (one pivot, one conditional, one PREP) in 40-70 words with a four-point checklist, live word counter and localStorage auto-save. The quiz has 8 questions โ pivot, conditional and PREP accuracy plus two comprehension questions on the reading โ with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
Lesson Plan
- 4 self-editing questions on common mistakes and the past-vs-perfect difference
- Silent thinking or buddy-share format โ no writing needed
Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- The pivot: past simple for finished time vs present perfect for life time or hot news
- Time-signal words that decide the tense (yesterday, in 2019, last week vs ever, just, this week)
- First conditional form: if + present simple, will + base verb, no will in the if-part
- Unless as if-not, with warning intonation and the comma at the fold
- PREP self-editing: Point, Reason, Example, Point with precise reasons
- Recycled past simple narration in the reading
