    Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.

      Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.

    Good bones, and the slides are clean enough to project without editing. I trimmed the discussion to fit a 45-minute period.

    My students loved the hands-on part. The exit ticket gave me exactly the formative data I needed. Highly recommend.

      The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.

      Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
