  1. Hi Alexa, Jennifer and Max. Looks like an interesting lesson, though I couldn't yet access your slides. (Please give me permission with my gmail account, gerofsky(dot)byrne(at)gmail(dot)com).

    Your timeline in the lesson plan needs to be much more well-defined, especially with three people co-teaching. One minute in, one minute to ask "any questions?" (unfortunately never really works, that one...) and then 13 minutes for the actual lesson doesn't really tell you or me what you'll be doing and for how long. Also make sure to say what the students will be doing! Looking forward to a good lesson.

    PS: Max, your lesson plan didn't come out as visible on your blog against the black background. Try this: (a) highlight the whole thing on the original Word doc and change the text colour to a pale yellow or white, or (b) highlight the whole thing in your blog and press the "Tx" button -- but this may not work for your formatted lesson plan.

  2. Thanks Max! It's great to have the timings breakdown and an idea of who is leading what. If I've added it up right, your 13 minutes breaks down to 11.5 minutes here -- but once you've corrected that, please do share it with the rest of your group. Cheers!
