My students loved this and had so much fun! Thank u!

Great resource for my emerging writers. Thanks you!

Great resource! I used it to supplement my opinion writing unit!

My students ( and my own children) love anything that is interactive. They pay attention to lessons that include movement and creativity. This helps them in these areas. It also helps them to try different forms of answering a questions. They are not stuck with just one strategy or skills. I love how they are using their interactive reading and writing notebook a lot more to complete the activities. Thank you!

These activities are excellent for all learners. The activities help make the concept of persuading easier to comprehend and apply for my Multilingual learners.

Great resource to aid learning in the classroom.

Thanks for all the hard work. Perfect for our needs

We have students who cannot make a decision about what to write. This guided them and they could produce some work.

That is wonderful!!!
