What educators are saying

This resource saved me a ton of time by giving me fantastic ideas! I modified some of the assignments for my students, of course, but the bulk of the material came right from this purchase. Thank you!
I've been using this to go along with our unit on Greek history. The students have enjoyed the activities and are able to connect their learning in history class to their writing, which is amazing!
