What educators are saying
My students particularly struggle with connotation and denotation on the ACT. I used this combined with a focus lesson on word choice. This was helpful in differentiating questions that are asking about main idea and questions that are focusing on tone and word choice.
These are great to help scaffold instruction for students who do not grasp grammar rules. Love these!
