NOTES:

Pre-Lesson

Post-lesson (this is done in retrospect, somehow evaluation lost off the end of doc, the lesson itself doesn’t look complete either.)

3** : If doing this again BAN coloured pencils – or don’t let them use colours at all. It’s a bit slow getting people to ‘present’ stuff in front of the class, I don’t think I’d do this again, better that they are all speaking rather than just one person.
