There Will Come Soft Rains Google Slides Annotation Project - Ray Bradbury

The well-crafted questions help students reflect upon what they read, infer about the characters/plot, and identify literary elements. What a hit!” - Jennifer Seward in Stillwater, OKWanting to ease your students into annotating text with a short story? Looking to help your stu
