📰 Builders: Mission Control

A fully interactive B1.1 speaking task (Builders' Studio, ages 10-13) that puts just, already and yet under real task pressure. Students warm up on teamwork and status reporting, then build a Status-Check Toolkit in three blocks: Status-Check Questions (the fixed pattern Have/Has + subject + past participle + yet?, with leader tips), Status-Check Answers (the three replies — Just done it! for just, Already done! for already, and a polite Not yet — two minutes for still-working), and The Mission Board (a table mapping each task and status to what you say). Ten B1 mission words (mission, leader, task, status, board, deadline, progress, complete, update, check) appear in a scrollable table with full definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading is a Mission Log starring the whole cast — Aylin runs Mission Control while Marco, Priya and Sam report status against a twenty-minute deadline — with seven hover-tooltip words and just/already/yet throughout. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank items (just/already/yet, Has, participles and mission words) with live validation, hints and a running score; the core speaking section sets up teams of four running live status checks with five role prompts and a model six-line dialogue; a guided 40-70 word 'My Mission Control Script' writing task with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question quiz mixing JAY status language with two reading-comprehension questions, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
