In this lesson: Describe the purpose of a proposed resource and identify an omitted relative pronoun.

Adelaide Researchers Plan a Community-Informed Climate-Grief Toolkit

How to use these two pages

Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.

Student worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

  1. Before reading · 2 minutes

    Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”

  2. Read and answer · 8–10 minutes

    Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.

  3. Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes

    Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.

Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.

Answers to the 2 questions

The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.

  1. Whose involvement was planned in shaping the toolkit?

    Correct answer: B — Communities and mental-health representatives

    Why: The planned collaboration included communities and mental-health representatives.

    Clue in the story: The team intended to co-develop a practical toolkit with communities and mental-health representatives, recognising the importance of natural and cultural places.

  2. Which expansion preserves the meaning?

    Correct answer: A — the communities that it aimed to support

    Why: The resource aims to support the communities, not the reverse.

    Clue in the story: The proposed resource was to be developed with the communities it aimed to support. WHO’s earlier call for community-based approaches provides a related policy context; the toolkit itself was still a research goal.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain why involving communities is relevant to design but is not, on its own, proof of effectiveness.

One possible answer: Community involvement can help a resource reflect the experiences and needs it aims to address. Evidence about its effectiveness would still require an assessment of outcomes after use.

This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.

Grammar to discuss

An understood relative pronoun

the communities it aimed to support

This means “the communities that it aimed to support”. The relative pronoun can be omitted because the communities are the object of “support”.
