Pros

• Includes warm-up activity, direct instruction, a song to use for practice, and a game idea
• The author has written a reflection on how the lesson was received; this will help other teachers modify the plan for successful implementation

Cons

• The preposition Uno game requires a great deal of preparation; consider asking class members to make a card each and use those to make a deck instead of making all of them on your own
• While described in the plan, not all materials are included; check out the author's online portfolio for ideas
