A little background: after 20 years of teaching 7th grade ELA, I put all of my curriculum together in one easy-to-use bundle. The work here reflects years of implementing, adapting, and perfecting my 7th grade curriculum. This is the SAME curriculum that I use in my classroom. If you have questions, I'm here to help you along the way!
