What educators are saying

This was a helpful resource in my honors class. It provided all levels of Bloom's questions to spark discussion, review readings, and provide research ideas.

Thank you for this resource! It helped me greatly to restructure my current unit with more meaningful and rigorous experiences for my students. This unit completely takes the "think work" out of planning for this novel. I'm so glad I found this resource!
