Ratings & comments
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Quick note: I swapped the video for a live demo and it worked just as well if you don't have a projector.
The timing note says 50 minutes but it took us closer to 65. Worth budgeting the extra.
Same here — back-to-back is the way to go.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
