I'm glad your class is enjoying this book. It has always been a favorite of my students. If you would drop me an e-mail at millerg3@k12tn.net with the mistakes you have found, I will correct them and get a revised copy up on TPT for you to download. This unit has been proofed by two other teachers, and I thought we had found most of the mistakes. I hate we missed some.

What an incredibly thorough resource! I will probably only use about half of the activities in the book, but because it is so extensive, I still feel the price was very fair. I would definitely purchase from this teacher again. Thanks for a wonderful resource! Now, I just have to wait for my classroom set of 'The City of Ember' to arrive.

Great resource guide. Awesome cross-curricular connections, activities etc.
Require more examples and details on the folder decorating activity. Examples and steps were difficult to visualize without step by step directions and visuals.

I love your packets, I used them when you had them posted online (for free!). One issue, however, for the tests or comprehension questions, if you could post the answers on a separate page, or all on one page at a time, that would make it easier when we print out for student pages (no answers on their sheet!). I try to copy and paste, but it's a mess. I ended up just whiting it out. Anyway, other than that, I love it. I am glad you are now getting paid for your hard work.
September 25, 2012
Gay Miller (TpT Seller)
Thank you. The City of Ember is the only packet that does have the answers after the quizzes instead of at the end of the packet. This is because it was the first book unit I put together to sell. Live and learn. ;>) I will be reworking it soon, and will set it up like the other book units. I also plan to add constructive response questions to the quizzes, so when you see a notice for a revised version please come back and download again. I have been getting some good feedback from the additional constructive response questions. (Trying to get ready for Common Core) I hope your students love this book!

Hi Gay-
I just wanted to give you a heads-up to something I used from your packet today. We had a few minutes at the end of the day so I thought it would be fun to look up jobs for students using the "job predictor" link you supplied on page 15. The first name I typed in (a name of a girl in my class), the job that came up for her was "stripper". I quickly shut off the whiteboard, and will white out the site from the page before using it again, but I thought you might like to know. I am really enjoying the packet! The kids are enjoying the book as much as I did.

Gay Miller (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much. I have used the site many times without this kind of result. In fact, I had left the link out of the original packet that I placed on TPT and teachers who have used my materials in the past requested I put it back in. It will definitely be dropped. I appreciate the heads-up.

Where did you get the Parafin wax and cotton string from? Do you remember how much it cost?
September 9, 2012
Gay Miller (TpT Seller)
You can get parafin at the grocery store next to the canning jars. Wal-Mart should also have it. I don't remember the cost. The string is just ordinary string. You should be able to get it at Wal-Mart as well. My husband keeps this kind of thing in his workshop, so I just go raid his supplies when I need something. Sorry, this isn't much help.

When you made the candles with you City of Ember unit, how much wax did you use and for how many students? Also how much cotton string?
September 8, 2012
Gay Miller (TpT Seller)
I purchased two boxes of the paraffin wax and colored it by adding broken crayons. I had a entire ball of the cotton string. I don't remember how much was left over, but it did not take any were close to the entire ball of string. We had enough materials for a class of 18 to 20. You might want to make all your wax the same color if you have a large class, so that you can pour it all together when the wax is about halfway used up. The students really loved this project. I hope yours do as well.
