Chart Clue #5 — logged

Check everything from Module 5

These activities assess the module as a whole — every part, not just one. Work down from low-stakes self-check to the graded quiz, then consolidate. Each H5P box below is waiting for its shortcode id.

Tier 1 · Self-check — warm up, ungraded

Tier 2 · Graded — the module quiz

Tier 3 · Consolidate — lock in the big ideas
