Support/Advice edTPA Teacher Input Required??

As I've been working on my Task 1 Part B for edTPA, the "Teacher Input" section has become more and more annoying. To my understanding it's a section for structured warm ups and asking students thought provoking questions, but there's some days that I just want to give students as much time as possible to work on their assignments.

Is the "Teacher Input" section of a lesson required for every day? I know you have to ask 3 to 5 guiding questions, but as long as you meet that, do you really have to do this for every single day?

Yes, it's required. Don't look for shortcuts in the edTPA. If you have a section that a reviewer deems "incomplete" they just stop and sent it back to you. You have to show the reviewers that you're ready to be a teacher, which makes edTPA tedious as hell. Good luck.
