The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
