TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Robert R. says, "I'm a writer by trade who is long term subbing and my students LOVED this, especially the 9th graders. It's essay writing, so there's no way to have it not be a little dry, but the powerpoints are excellent, the worksheets are easy for the students to complete, and you have options based on the makeup of your class. My 9th graders had never written a full essay before, and by the end of a week they were able to put out a quality 5 to 6 paragraph essay. I'm stunned!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carley L. says, "Fantastic resource! I used it when preparing for provincial testing with Grade 9 students and it really helped them to organize their ideas. I loved allowing them to choose between having a hard copy or digital copy to work off of as well."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tayler S. says, "This was an amazing and well organized resource to help students write their essays. It breaks down the parts of an essay and it chunks all the information in to smaller sections to help the students put together a full essay. I will definitely use this resource again! Thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ivy V. says, "This was a great resource for my students to use while I was away supervising a band field trip. The students who went away also received a copy to work on when they could. It guided the students through each step for writing an essay and helped boost their confidence!"
