Take a look at what teachers like you are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was AWESOME! I didn't have to prep anything and my kids loved the story. The questions and activities used directly aligned to standards and ELA content, and the students loved the design of the PowerPoint. Students were able to work on this independently due to the clear directions and ease of navigation throughout the assignment. (Courtney F.)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very detailed resource! I have used several of these digital notebooks in for the short story unit in my 9th grade class. They have been a time saver and the students have been engaged.  Thank you!!  (Rock Your Classroom)
