Book Unboxing Assignment – Teacher Feedback:
- “Overall, a solid resource. As always, your resources are excellent and straight forward. I absolutely love all your units. They save me so much time. Worth every penny.”
- “I’m in Canada, but it worked well with our curriculum as well (Oral Language, Media Literacy, etc.) and the students loved it. The resource is super organized and thorough – I didn’t have to do much tweaking (except for the Standards/Expectations). We also had a great discussion around cyberbullying and leaving positive comments and helpful suggestions (without being hurtful). It’s so relevant for students and they had fun with it!”
- “Another great resource from Two Peas and a Dog. Currently using this as a replacement for our monthly book review. Students are enjoying it very much – engaging for distance learning.”
