Notes et commentaires
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
Clear, classroom-ready, and the materials list is accurate. My only tweak was adding a few more minutes to the practice phase.
The wrap-up prompt produced the best written responses I have had from this class all year.
