Help
Hello,
Just wanted to mention that on slide 41, the word "classes" is missing an 's'. Thanks!

I thought if I could download the samples, I could download and save all of the files, but now that I purchased the Power Points, I can't open any of them. Can you help a tech-challenged teacher? Thanks

Is it possible to see more than just the slide pictures as a preview for this resource? Of the six stories I only teach The Gift of the Magi. I'm interested in purchasing the powerpoint but don't want to do so without knowing more about what it contains.

I have The Gift of the Magi sold individually for a reduced price. When you find the individual PPT it will have other preview slides with content. Hope this helps!

Top 5 seller on Teachers Pay Teachers for high school teachers! I have been teaching high school English the past 11 years. I have taught all levels of high school English, but I prefer freshmen! They still are open to new thoughts and many are not yet jaded!
