Hi Holly:
Good example. Backup plans are good and needed from time to time. Better ones can be initiated on very short notice, are simple to implemment, are very low tech, and related to the general topic.
A couple examples might be Q&A, discussion, class worksheets, video's/DVD's, or stories about the work setting. Getting student reflection on work stories can be interesting and beneficial to the student, even given the circumstances the activities are being used.
