What worked well in this class? What did not work?
Everything worked very well. Students loved the topic and spoke a lot – we didn’t even have time to discuss all the questions.
How could this class be improved/ modified?
If I do this class again I would use some video about what young people dream about/want nowadays at the end of the class to compare students’ dreams to overall statistics.
Please attach your lesson plan and handouts for this class below – if you used any.
