Pacing w/ Teacher Notes

Day 1 - This can be used as a homework assignment or be done in class individually/in pairs. I’ve introduced this while doing the paper roller coaster project, as it has examples related to what they’re working on.

Day 2 - I typically use the project groups to divvy up the review. I select the questions to review and I have students write their answers and work on the board, before we review it as a class. The answer key can be projected on screen while students peer-grade the work.
