Hi, everyone. I'm teaching at a high school in Guangzhou, China and
thinking about teaching an elective class next semester on juggling
(perhaps the last remaining item in my rapidly diminishing skill set).
I understand a fair number of jugglers have tried things like this
before so I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.

Classes are 90 minutes long, once a week, and we'll probably get about
12 weeks. I was thinking of starting with a "how to make your own
juggling balls" workshop to start, just so everyone could own their
own props, then begin with 3 ball juggling the next week. Any thoughts
on a good direction to progress from there? I know the juggling
learning curve varies wildly depending on the learner, so I especially
welcome any ideas for evaluation schemes; I'd like to reward them for
increasing the number of catches or tricks they can manage but I also
don't want to leave anyone out in the dust.
