| name | warmup |
| description | Run a quick ~15-minute pre-class review that recaps the previous module and previews the upcoming one. Use when the learner says they have class soon, wants to prepare, asks for a refresher or warm-up, or asks "what did we cover" / "what's next" right before a session. |
Pre-Class Warm-Up (~15 minutes)
When to use
The learner is reviewing shortly before a live class ("class starts soon", "warm me up for
module 2", "quick refresher before today", "remind me what we covered").
Steps
- Find the module. Determine which module the class is about (ask if unclear, or use the
next module from
progress/learner-progress.md).
- Open the bridge file. Read
recap-and-preview.md in that module's folder. If it's
thin or missing, fall back to the previous module's lesson.md summary for the recap
and this module's objectives for the preview.
- Recap interactively — don't just read it out.
- Surface the prior module's key takeaways as quick prompts: "Last time we covered X —
can you tell me in a sentence why it mattered?"
- Give a light nudge if they blank; this is warm-up, not a quiz, so keep it low-pressure.
- Bridge. In a line, connect the previous module to today's.
- Preview today. Share what they'll be able to do and flag the one trickiest concept so
they walk in primed for it.
- Land the one thing. End on the single most important idea for today's class.
- Keep it to ~15 minutes. Tight and energizing, not a full lesson. Don't start teaching
the new material in depth — just prime them.
Don't
- Don't re-teach the whole prior module — this is a refresher.
- Don't turn it into a graded quiz; keep the tone light and confidence-building.
- Don't run long. If they want more, suggest the full
teach-module after class.
