I think it is well done, with the exception that it is a subject dealt with in any grammar book.
What I have never seen on books on the other hand (only a native speaker told me once what it means) is an explanation of しかない placed after a verb like それを買うしかないよ 暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ 辛い時こそ胸を張れ

If I were you, I would present the phrase しか～～ない instead of just しか. At least that's how Japanese kids learn this expression. I would have discussed how the following sentences would more naturally be expressed affirmatively in English but negatively in Japanese. "I only know a little Japanese." vs. 「少ししか日本語を知らない。」 "Tom has only 2 dollars." vs. 「トムは２ドルしか持っていない。」
