8–12	Plays two short preference examples.	Identifies work, person, action, description and feeling.	Ten heard details.
12–16	Hides the word bank and prompts retrieval.	Recalls at least twelve target items.	Independent recall.
16–21	Models one preference chain, then removes it.	Builds six original sentences from the new words.	Original vocabulary use.
21–26	Runs a choose-and-recommend exchange.	Recommends two different works for two people.	Connected mini-response.
26–30	Adds one changed preference and scores.	Adapts and retries without a script.	VR / FP evidence.

FP · Functional PerformanceStates a preference, recommends a work with a reason and adapts when the listener’s preference changes.

Teacher scoring guide

Score the first unsupported performance, then score the focused retry separately.

0 · Not yetThe criterion is not demonstrated after one clear prompt.

1 · With supportThe criterion is partly demonstrated or needs supplied language.

2 · IndependentThe criterion is clear without a model or supplied sentence. Natural hesitation is acceptable.

Target: 3/4 overall with FP = 2 and no zero.

The lesson is complete whenYou use the new vocabulary to give and adapt a clear recommendation without reading a model.

Teacher Help · scoring and retry
