To revisit any of the 5 Element Framework discussed in this series, remember to visit my website at www.labineverylesson.com/5elements. There, you can download the complete guide that provides you with examples or recommendations of how to implement each element into your own lesson plans.

When you share your email with me to get the guide, you’ll also get added to my email list. That might be super useful if you think any of my prepared lessons might work for your students in your classroom. Each time I publish new lessons for sale – those that aren’t already on TpT – I’m going to be publishing them to only my website for 1 week at a lower price before publishing them on TpT for the masses. When you’re on my email list, you’ll get first-dibs and a discount!
