📖 Builders: The Long Read

A fully interactive B1.1 Word Lab lesson for teens that brings together everything from the Word Lab module and applies it at length. Learners begin with four warm-up questions about long texts and focus, then study the reading toolkit in two blocks: Bring the Whole Toolkit (plan first, then skim, scan and dive, using context clues at every unknown word) and Checkpoints and Stamina (a table of habits — the checkpoint pause, don't-panic inference, and following topic sentences — plus a stamina-reminder panel). Ten key words (article, paragraph, topic sentence, summary, checkpoint, stamina, main idea, supporting detail, section, conclusion) appear with full B1 definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading, 'The Girl Who Films the Night', is a genuinely rich ~185-word feature article starring Aylin (with Marco), full of scannable facts (forty nights, ten seconds, four minutes) and inference-worthy vocabulary, with seven hover tooltips and paragraph headings for checkpoint practice. Practice offers eight fill-in-the-blank items on long-read vocabulary and two article facts with hints and live scoring; speaking gives five post-reading prompts and a six-line model dialogue comparing deep dives; the writing task is a 40–70 word second-read reflection with a four-point checklist and auto-saving counter; and an eight-question quiz mixes protocol-at-length knowledge with two reading-comprehension questions, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
