<p style="margin-top:0">Bilingual instruction, data dashboards for my classroom,
seasonal cooking from the garden. The through-line is process: toast slowly,
measure carefully, taste often — then teach what you noticed.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0">I wrote out <a href="/mole-pot-lesson.html"><strong>The
Mole Pot's Equations</strong></a> — a bilingual chemistry lesson for grades 810
built on the Maillard reaction, with a working pan-temperature check, an
exit-ticket, and a JSON data twin. The film is the feeling of it; the lesson is
the doing of it.</p>
