I created this product because I had a 45-minute class period to teach literature, writing, grammar, and vocabulary in a differentiated classroom. I often felt more like a juggler than a teacher! My 8th-grade students had a wide range of abilities and backgrounds in English. I needed a way to cover a lot of skills in a short amount of time. They needed basic grammar skills to succeed on their writing assignments.
