Ratings & comments
Clear, classroom-ready, and the materials list is accurate. My only tweak was adding a few more minutes to the practice phase.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
Would this work a year group down with more scaffolding, or is the reading level too high?
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
