I wrote my book for novice physics teachers and I’ve had some very kind feedback about it. Chapter Zero in particular seems to have gone down well.
No one has mentioned the narratives. Daniel Willingham writes about the privileged status of story – stories go in better. I wrote the stories help the ideas go in.
So here is an audio version of my energy narrative – beautifully read by a kind year 9 student. I hope you like it.
