Valoraciones y comentarios
Really well structured. I adapted the warm-up slightly for my group and it worked beautifully. Saved me hours of prep.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
