Valoraciones y comentarios
Clear, classroom-ready, and the materials list is accurate. My only tweak was adding a few more minutes to the practice phase.
This is now a staple in my unit. The progression from hook to wrap-up feels natural and easy to follow.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
