What British Literature teachers are saying:

❤️ This was a wonderful help in introducing different time periods for my novels this spring! It's a timesaver and a creative approach to setting the historical stage for literature! Art has a way of connecting students to the material and this product definitely does!

❤️ I've used this resource to start my last two units, and while I wanted to give students only about thirty minutes to complete their word art assignment, they have wanted to take more time to further research and develop their designs. This was a great purchase--hooks my 11th graders effectively, and it involves minimal prep on my end...which is helpful at the start of a new unit!

❤️ The word art activities are a massive hit with my students. It is so much fun to see them visually synthesize information on each time period.
