Idea — A solid receptive skills lesson: pre-task (schema activation) → gist task → detail or inferencing task → post-task (productive follow-up). Every stage has a purpose.
Example — Topic — climate migration. Pre: discuss predictions. Gist: what is the main argument? Detail: what three solutions are proposed? Post: write a tweet responding.
Try — Design a complete receptive skills lesson for a text or recording you know well. Write one task for each stage. Does each task serve its stage?
