Implementation Tips for Teachers: Advice or suggestions for a smooth project execution
I'm trying to improve a student's understanding of <topic>. Develop a creative choose-your-own adventure story. Make sure there are three options for each part of the story. Make sure each option forms part of the teaching and learning. Do this for a reading age of <age>. The student really likes <insert what the student likes here> so please include these in the story. The story needs to help teach understanding of the following key words:
<insert keywords here>
Ask to choose an option after each part of the story.
Wait for my response before moving on to the next part of the story.
Conclude the story once all the keywords have been taught.
Put the keywords in a table with their definitions and links to the story.
