Ratings & comments
Clear, classroom-ready, and the materials list is accurate. My only tweak was adding a few more minutes to the practice phase.
Used this with my class last week and it landed perfectly — the pacing is spot on and students stayed engaged the whole time.
A year down worked for me with the reading swapped for the summary version.
