Woops! Should have made that more clear.

I was just referring to the last paragraph of my original email
wherein I offer up an idea for the structure of the lessons. This
lesson plan was something I had intended to move beyond the Wave, but
I lack the web design skill likely necessary to implement such a
thing. When I teach, I crave the interactivity and automatic feedback.
Designing a lesson structure with dynamic collapsing and expanding of
information as you progress is just one way I might be able to capture
some of that dynamic. Really strong examples and test questions have
helped quite a bit in cementing ideas.

I've been mentally compiling a list of commonly asked questions as I
teach each subject. Likewise, I've been compiling a list of commonly
made mistakes... {se broda be fa ko'a} seems to crop up no matter how
artfully I try to dodge it, for example.

I think donri has been spearheading a project wherein he gives
stronger definitions of gismu in both summary and expanded form. A lot
of them can be very deceptive when read from gismu lists on what fills
what places - I think a mouse-over interface that gives a better
detail of the definition, and a few examples of what can fill each
place successfully would go a long way in teaching place structure
properly.

Later today I might post a fake-up of what I'd like to see some of
these things looking like.
