Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)
This lesson provides a good explanation of the subject matter and shows how it can be incorporated into small groups and even individual situations. It's main downfall is that it is somewhat lacking in depth and there are more connections that could be made.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Limited (1)
Activities contain no answer keys and they are lacking in variety. It would be good to consider adding some sort of activity that would incorporate multiple subject areas and/or allow for assessment.
