Grade 7 History Bundle – Teacher Feedback:
- “Great product! It’s enormous but has everything I’ll need for my gr. 7 history unit! Thank you so much!”
- “I can’t say enough good things about this resource! This and the grade 8 history pack were some of my first TPT purchases and they were lifesavers. I was thrown into these classes that were using the same textbooks I had when I was a student. Thanks for all your hard work. The students loved the activities and the inquiry projects were essential in improving their presentation skills.”
- “An amazing resource! Easily adapted to other curriculums and grade levels. Topics can easily be added to build up concepts”
- “First-year teaching this subject – this has saved me!”
- “I had a split 7-8 and had never taught grade 7 before. This bundle was invaluable in helping me cover the curriculum with my class. I used it in conjunction with the grade 8 bundle and it was easy to use.”
