🎧 Builders: My Media Minute

A fully interactive B1.1 Media Lab speaking task from the Builders' Studio series for teens (ages 10-13). Students plan and perform a 60-second 'media minute' that recommends a song, show or channel. Part 2 is a speaking toolkit: The Media Minute = PREP breaks the talk into Point, Reason, Example and Point; Chunks That Sell It offers a bank of natural phrases (you have got to hear this, trust me on this one, it is totally worth it, give it a go); and a Delivery table gives five moves — hook, timing, voice, eye contact and a closing call to action. Ten media words (recommend, recommendation, review, episode, channel, chorus, subtitles, catchy, worth it, audience) appear in a scrollable table and six on flashcards. The reading is Media Minute Monday, a model in which Marco recommends a cooking channel using PREP and the chunk 'trust me — give it a go', with eight hover-tooltip words. Practice is 8 fill-in-the-blanks on the PREP frame and media vocabulary with live checking, hints and a score. Speaking provides five build-your-minute prompts and a model six-line dialogue where Sam recommends a song with PREP and a chunk. The writing task is a 40-70 word media-minute script with a four-point PREP checklist, a live word counter and localStorage auto-save. The quiz has 8 questions — PREP, chunks and media words plus two comprehension questions on the reading — with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
