Week 33: Ground Truth week: the whole year on one board

Field Book
Review week
Due
GROUND TRUTH in class
Method
Paper first, every step
The last working week. In class: the review game, then The Warrant runs live on tablets and phones with the wall ledger in view. Every value on the big board this week was earned in a case file this year.

What you have to be able to do

The procedures

How the week runs
  1. The review game runs first; treat it like the Yard, fast and unafraid.
  2. Then The Warrant: the finale room, run in class on tablets or phones.
  3. When the last equation resolves, the class reads the board top to bottom, out loud.
How to prepare
  1. Walk the Field Book back to front; the late weeks are freshest, the early weeks need the reps.
  2. Redo your own room vouchers; you already solved those cases once.
  3. Take the term walks a week at a time with the scope menu.
