Interested in trying parts of the lesson .

1. Less on pedegogy in the intro. We all know it, and have read / heard it over and over again. 2. Like the drawing aspect of the lesson, as well as the moot court. 3. Thought there would be more short texts for students to review. 4.. Language in the rubric at level 3 regarding lack of creativity should be restated to be less subjective and patronizing. Thank you
