⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "So versatile! Used it in all of my classes to scaffold essay writing. Plus, it is easy to make your own!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was an amazing unit! Students loved the 4 corners activity, the personal legend project, and they surprisingly enjoyed the final essay format. There were so many opportunities for students to connect the novel to their own lives and I think that is why students had such a positive experience with each of the activities. Highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource!!!! I used this in conjunction with another resource and it was AMAZING!!! After the lesson, I had my students break up into two groups and they created their own commercial using what we learned. Highly recommend... It was fun, entertaining and most importantly they learned!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've assigned All the Light We Cannot See as a novel study for the summer. Your resource helped me with planning for the essay test I'll assign when students return to school.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend this speech essay for The Giver. The structured outline made this essay really straightforward for my students. I found it helpful that you had specific guiding statements that told students exactly what to write for each component of each paragraph: perfect for middle school students and this made the process so much more accessible to my students. They also were excited to write from Jonas's perspective. Thanks!
