(Monitor the room and assist students as needed.)
"I'll be walking around to help if anyone has questions or needs clarification on certain topics. You have 5 minutes, so let’s get started!"
"Alright, time's up! I would like to see your completed cards. I’ll do a quick check to see how well you understood today’s lesson."
