Unit 3 — Interactive Lessons

Five-hour teaching sequences with paired workbooks (one per topic)

How these lessons work

Each topic is taught over 5 × 1-hour interactive lessons. Pairs of students work into a single shared Pair Workbook that runs across all five lessons of the topic.

The workbook lives in Teams. At the start of each topic, students download the workbook from that topic's Teams assignment. They add to the same file across all 5 lessons. At the end of Lesson 5, one student in the pair uploads the completed workbook back to the same Teams assignment — one workbook per topic, one submission per topic.
Each lesson follows six stages: Stimulus (video) → Discussion → Pair task → Self-check → Peer critique → Iteration. The HTML page guides students through; each pair task tells them exactly which section of the workbook to fill in.
