Tutor comments: On the whole this is fine. A bit more detail on the plan would help (see my comments) but you seem to have grasped the basics behind guided discovery and you state that the students were quite active during the handout stage which is a good sign. Think about the ordering of questions on the handout next time (i.e. meaning before form) and try this framework with other groups until you can claim it as a part of your regular repertoire of teaching techniques.
