This lesson became clear to me only after watching the "My own mini-lesson on this". Before watching, I was a little confused about it.

This is a well-done and comprehensive lesson plan. It was easy to use and contained a wealth of information, appropriate links, etc. Just great overall. I also bought the lesson on quoting materials and avoiding plagarism, which was equally excellent.
