Hey Jenny, This looks good, and the authentic audience at the end helps with motivation. Now the question is, how are you going to get them to this point, where they are capable of doing this PT? That's the subject of Step 3. One more point: There is tremendous room here for a literacy standard (or 10) due to the communication necessity built in here. You may want to look back at your standards and see how you could make this an even more robust study. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Josh
