The through-line

The natural framing for this unit is the one your Day 0 already sets up by accident, and it's worth making deliberate: students take a test, and then immediately begin studying what makes a test good.

How to use the lesson pages

  • Same conventions as every unit in this course — one path per slot, 90-minute blocks, bold non-negotiables, alternates in the appendices. The full how-to is on the course page.
