What educators are saying

My 8th grade class used this resource as a collaborative activity. They read the passages and then discussed the answers and also practiced annotating and finding evidence in the text. This activity kept them on task and engaged for this topic. It was very well put together. Thank you!
Fantastic resource. My students engage and think as well as learn content. Thank you! I have several of these products on various topics and they're great.
