Review
As you can see in the video, even though we do our best at planning for our lessons, they don’t always go exactly the way we expected. Let’s share some of our experiences with lessons we’ve taught.
Ask participants to find a partner and discuss the prompt. Allow for a few minutes for pairs to discuss, then ask a few to share either a story with a “scenario B” or one that didn’t go the way they expected it to.
