The lesson plan and slides are by no means polished, but I am publishing them here under a CC BY-NC-SA license. This means you are free to use the slides and lesson plan as is or with adaptations so long as this use is non-commercial and you publish your version with the same licensing. You may need to adapt this lesson if you do not have the Developing Tactics book.
