It was comical and absurd — for sixty minutes, I watched my high schoolers run around the room, trying to catch these birds. I had to run after my students a couple of times when I saw them doing crazy things like standing on desks and chairs and window sills trying to catch them.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar.
