📋 Builders: Edit & Illustrate
A fully interactive B1.1 Teens writing-and-editing lesson from the Project module of the Builders' Studio series. Students learn the editor's craft in three parts: the Three Editorial Passes (accuracy — check facts and grammar; kindness — rewrite harsh advice into encouraging advice; clarity — cut clutter and split long sentences), page design (a bold headline, a clean layout and a caption under every photo, with kind advice kept in the first conditional), and a print-ready Editor's Checklist table. Ten key words (edit, draft, proofread, accuracy, clarity, layout, caption, headline, illustrate, feedback) appear with full B1 definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards. The reading follows Aylin, Marco, Priya and Sam turning four rough drafts into one guide they are proud of, with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice includes eight contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions mixing the editing vocabulary with a first-conditional advice line, live green/red validation, hints and a score tracker. A speaking section runs an editor's-table peer-feedback exchange with five prompts and a six-line model dialogue; a guided 40-70 word writing task rewrites one Survival Guide section using a headline, first conditional and a read-aloud check with a live word counter and auto-save; and a full eight-question quiz mixes the editing skill with two reading-comprehension questions, with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
Lesson Plan
- 4 questions about unclear sentences, first drafts, kind advice and good design
- Silent thinking or team-share format — no writing required
Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- Editorial passes: accuracy (facts and grammar), kindness (rewrite harsh advice), clarity (cut clutter)
- The read-aloud test: read your text out loud and fix any sentence you stumble on
- Page design: a bold headline, a clear layout and a caption under every photo
- First conditional for advice: If you feel lost, ask a teacher early
- Rewriting for kindness: 'never be late' becomes 'try to arrive early'
- Clarity moves: split long sentences and cut extra words
