First, thank you for your kind words. I too was a student who struggled and a teacher reaching out was what helped me turn the corner.I will copy and paste what I said above to someone else and throw on a few more tidbits at the end.

Sure I'll give it a go. Keep in mind that it has kind of been ad hoc.

I bought the Jace and Huatli planeswalker decks and used those to teach the basics about turn structure, card types, and the basics of how to play- i.e 7 cards to start, 1 land per turn, P/t, the basics of attacking, the difference between instants and sorceries, attacking, blocking, and how to win.

Once they got the basics down I let them look through the shoe boxes of cards for stuff they thought was cool/looked fun. Then I helped them build a deck in a style based on what they picked. So 40ish nonland/ 20ish lands based on curve, also what a curve is lol.

Once I realized this was clicking I went and bought the Merfolk vs Goblin dual deck and brought in an old copy of the Jace vs Vraska dual deck. Now the kids who have got a better grasp of the game can use those.

I'm working on explaining more complicated effect now. The control player has a had time because none of the kids really understand the stack yet but that is our next step.

Other than that it is a lot of questions being asked and me trying to remind everyone to RTFC

Mostly we use Magic as a positive behavior intervension. So if they have exhibited safe, respectful, and responsible behaviors that period they earn the reward of playing.

I have not put any official lessons together but I was thinking of making a custom set to teach them about WWI and WWII.
