Planning a lesson from scratch

Scaffold using Understanding by Design (UbD), PPP, TBL, or ESA. Generate objectives, assessment evidence, and a learning plan aligned to a framework.

🗣️

Teaching ESL students with L1 interference

Identify Mandarin or Spanish transfer error patterns, decide when and how to correct using the Lyster-Ranta framework, and level texts to the right CEFR band.

📜

Analyzing a primary source document

SOAPSTone analysis, provenance check, bias inventory, and corroboration prompts. Plus historiographical interpretation from five competing schools.

🏟️

Teaching sport management economics

Compare franchise vs. promotion/relegation models, design a survey study, model payroll efficiency with embedded MLB data, or debate automated officiating.

📈

Teaching or reviewing economics concepts

Interactive supply-demand diagrams, Phillips curve scatter plots, recession anatomy bar charts, game theory payoff matrices, and a 30-card key-terms flashcard deck.
