You kept learners involved by opening with a quick favorite activity question, checking on Bluebook and Khan Academy practice, and then regularly inviting Aly and Socrates to answer, read a passage, or choose punctuation. You also prompted thinking well by asking “why do you think that” after Socrates placed the comma, and by having them eliminate answer choices together during the assessment review. I think it might be helpful to tighten engagement during transitions, since time spent finding a Kahoot and troubleshooting reduced active practice. You could also add more structured turn taking, for example, each learner explains one elimination and the other restates it, so both voices stay active even when one student is quieter.
