BHP Newbie here --
This is my first year teaching BHP to multi-grade classes of 6th and 7th graders. I've gotten a lot of great tips from Zach Cain, but because of the way the calendar falls this year, I've got 7 days (5 50-min. classes and 2 75-min. classes over 2 weeks) to cover Threshold 5 in order to stay on pace. What are the must-dos, with an eye toward middle schoolers losing focus heading into winter break?
I appreciated some of the ideas here Must Have Lessons for Threshold 5 but I'm short on planning time and would love to know which few high-impact activities you would prioritize to maintain the narrative arc without getting bogged down in the details.
Thanks!
