Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Retell a legend while separating storytelling from established evidence.
Can discuss the supplied example in an accessible mode; adapt directions without supplying the target answer.
Check the learner can follow the model with support before moving on. Source prerequisite ordering is not learner mastery; return to prerequisite work when needed.
Read the supplied original short retellings; these are versions of legends, not evidence that events happened. Open S first, G together, then T alone; put S and G away before T. Keys stay adult-only. No purchase or printing is required; an unavailable physical observation remains pending, not passed.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
