    Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.

    Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.

    Really well structured. I adapted the warm-up slightly for my group and it worked beautifully. Saved me hours of prep.
