Ratings & comments
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
The differentiation notes are what sold me — I could stretch the fast finishers without writing anything extra.
Sixty-five minutes matches my experience too. I now split it across two shorter periods.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.
