Oceny i komentarze
Really well structured. I adapted the warm-up slightly for my group and it worked beautifully. Saved me hours of prep.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
This is now a staple in my unit. The progression from hook to wrap-up feels natural and easy to follow.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
