Ratings & comments
Is there a printable version of the recording sheet anywhere?
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
Worked well as a cover lesson. A colleague with no background in the topic taught it from the plan alone.
Used this with my class last week and it landed perfectly — the pacing is spot on and students stayed engaged the whole time.
Has anyone tried running this with a larger class? Curious how the group activity scales to 30+ students.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
