Grade 6/7 Social Studies Bundle – Teacher Feedback:
- “It was nice to have a resource more engaging than the tiny textbook that we have. I also enjoyed purchasing this unit instead of spending time hunting through every textbook the school owns to try and align with curriculum. I really appreciate how the 6/7 lessons were aligned so that I could teach to the class then run a mini lesson grade specific.”
- “This is great resource to use with my virtual learners. Activities, videos and tasks are very engaging. Thanks for the resource.”
