A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and phrase lists on the learner page. The final dialogue prompts are open-ended, with no fixed answer key.
- Read the research-extract discussion; separate public quotations from team-only material and fictional examples.
- Trace the filming permissions around safety lines, apprentices, order sheets and customer information.
- Role-play a final prompt, stating what is allowed, under which conditions and who can authorise it.
Support and extension
Provide allowed/limited/not authorised notes. Extend with clarification questions; treat these as language scenarios, not legal advice or universal consent rules.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
