I am a learning support teacher providing service to students in an inclusionary setting. These worksheets provide examples that are clear enough and basic enough for my students but still appropriate for the rest of the class.

My only problem is that graphic organizers are such a big part of teacher now, and these worksheets are not setup as graphic organizers. The information is good and some of the ideas were helpful. I will have to create graphic organizers out of these worksheets, though.

Hi there! I purchsed this awesome packet back in October and somehow the file is corrupted and since it is expired, I cannot download it again. I know it isn't your problem, of course, but I was wondering if you would be willing to email me the file since I did purchase it already. Would you let me know, please. Thanks! D.

This is my eighth year as a teacher. I taught for two years at a charter school, where I had several different preps ranging from 7th grade social studies, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grade language arts. I had no classroom of my own, so I became organized pretty quickly! I currently teach 8th grade English and Social Studies for Bloomfield Hills Public Schools, and I really enjoy both my students and colleagues, with whom I frequently collaborate to create interdisciplinary units.
