The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
Has anyone tried running this with a larger class? Curious how the group activity scales to 30+ students.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
