Learning goal
State a clear limit in a fictional scheduling request.
Write, draw, or say your answer. You may pass.
The example
In a pretend school event role, Alex is available until 4 p.m. A team member asks Alex to stay until 6. The school supervisor is responsible for confirming assignments.

Alex can say, “I am available until 4. Please check the later coverage with our supervisor.” This is role practice, not advice about an actual employment agreement.
