What to Teach? Mario’s publications are a goldmine of creativity. Whether it’s a storytelling activity, a moment of silent reflection, a grammar game that taps into emotion, or simply asking students “How are you really today?” — you’re already honouring his legacy.You can find a selection of his books and ideas here: hlt.digital/profiles/mario-rinvolucri/books
