Learning focus

Identify a message's purpose; choose relevant information or a clear item/action; give a simple preference and reason; listen, reply and clarify; explain whether a message suits a different listener or place.

Classroom use

Use the teacher-led sequence for whole-class modelling, partner exchanges and small-group practice. Reuse the picture cards, mats and strips in short oral-language sessions. Record the learner's message, reply, clarification and supported choices in the assessment, then use the rubric to plan the next teaching step.
