Ratings & comments
Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Does anyone have a version of this that maps to the newer syllabus wording?
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
The wrap-up prompt produced the best written responses I have had from this class all year.
Good bones, and the slides are clean enough to project without editing. I trimmed the discussion to fit a 45-minute period.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
