Your notebook
What you notice, read and rethink, kept, connected, and brought back when it’s useful. Every year begins from what you already built, not a blank page.
Ask your professional memory. It answers from your own notes.
Observation
The Nogales map hooked the room instantly, students argued before I said anything. Keep it as the Day-7 opener.
Oct 14 · connected to “Why are some countries rich?”
Unit idea
A whole unit on debt and aid. “Who owes whom?” Would pair well after the empire unit.
Sep 30 · future unit
Reflection
Students confused correlation with causation in the data brief. Add a 10-min mini-lesson before the evidence day next time.

Source
“Why Nations Fail”, ch. 1 works as a Grade-10 excerpt with light trimming, strong for the institutions side.
