Question → explain → practice → compare
Every concept begins with one question whose four choices are the four key terms. Then we use a short explainer, four keyword prompts, an infographic, and a post-stream comparison Short. A Kahoot or Baamboozle wraps up the live session, and the answers return at the end.
