Teacher Feedback
- “I do a debate unit with my Gr. 9s for persuasive writing (leading to an essay). The articles were easy to understand and use for our in-class debates and writing points. This was a great prelude to doing further research.”
- “Great material to reinforce learning. Interactive and engaging.”
- “I purchased several of these nonfiction sets to use in my ELA classroom. Our current text book is very week on nonfiction. These were a great supplement to use with my 6th graders. They find the topics interesting and I love that they are easy to use and prep for.”
