Nouns Unit Bundle
“I really like that the PowerPoints are recorded or I can teach them on my own. The videos are great for students who were absent to view what they missed. I also like the PowerPoint companion, so they have to be active in the lesson and not just listening to me talk.”

Informative Essay Unit
"My students really loved this research and writing unit. They were excited to write their papers since everything was broken down in manageable chunks for them. Thanks!!!"
