What teachers are saying:
-Well done! A wonderful combination of a lesson plan guiding the teacher in the classroom discussion, combined with step-by-step, clear instructions for the student painting (I would leave out the quote about what close reading is and how students have to actually see the piece of writing or art to learn; that level of detail seems better suited to a demo lesson than a TPT product). Thanks for a fantastic product!
