how to use this book
The more lessons I taught, the bigger the issue became of collating and organising resources. A key challenge is knowing where and how a resource could be used.

I devised a fairly simple and scalable model for sorting the resources I used, knew about, or created: Hook, Line, Sinker.
I created this resource for:
• teachers who simply don't have time to navigate thousands of online resources
• the teacher about to start a unit who wants to "see how someone else might do it"
• myself (I have a terrible file management system and an even worse memory)
