Ratings & comments
Used the hook on its own as a starter for a different topic and it still worked.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
Good to know the hook travels — I will try that.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
