WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ One of the most comprehensive and thought-out novel units on TpT. My kids LOVED it! Will be using again and again for the next decade, thanks!!!!!!!!!!
♥ This man’s work is absolutely incredible!! I will buy from him for every unit I see applies to my classroom/curriculum! His work is through, detailed and elaborated so that it’s perfect for ALL classrooms. The differentiation piece is what I love the most. I am also obsessed with the QuickWrites! I do a lot of journal writing and this addition is PERFECT! 5 PLUSSS PLUSSS STARS!!! Thank you sooo much!!
♥ I love this unit! I bought a different unit from another provider outside TpT, and comparatively, this one is more creative and definitely more reliable. I haven’t had to correct any proofing errors. Love the chosen graphics as well. The Job Description worksheet is clever and has led to interesting discussions. The Quickwrites are thought- and conversation-provoking as well. I’m really enjoying the depth my students and I are achieving together. This package is a great complement to the book as I help usher them into high school and more mature, analytical thinking.
♥ My students FREAKED out over this! Absolutely BRILLIANT unit! Thanks so much!
♥ I love how thorough and creative this unit is. This will be immensely helpful in my classroom and help my students really get into the novel. Thank you!!
♥ All I can say is WOW! There are some really awesome ideas here. Thank you so much for all your hard work. You just made my life easier!
♥ This is impressive. I love the Powerpoints and the quick writes. I purchased another unit and this one is by far the most creative, thought provoking, and organized. Every element pushed the student to engage
at multiple levels of thinking from concrete recall to analytical.
