I completed this activity in 3.5 days. Yes, I said 3.5 days. Three full days of actually going through the lesson with the the third day having some time to discuss the activity questions. The .5 day was used wrapping up what was learned and going through the interpretation phase. It was a great lesson, and my students were really engaged. :)

I agree. I find that the more time spent during the "process" phase when students interact allows them to become more "engaged" and they feel more ownership in the lesson's goals. Absorption of the concepts takes time and the battle goes on to choose between depth and breath.

It seems like almost all the lessons that we do in the workshop (that take us 1-2 hours) takes at least twice that with the students! In a way its good because that means the students don't already know what is going on and there is significant time being spent with the students doing the activity.
