Notes et commentaires
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
The assessment rubric alone was worth it. I have reused it across three other lessons since.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
The timing note says 50 minutes but it took us closer to 65. Worth budgeting the extra.
Same here — back-to-back is the way to go.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
