The price was too high for what was offered. Maybe I've just been jaded by the high quality work on TpT that costs less.

I'm sorry that you feel this way. This product does provide several weeks of rigorous activities to go with any Historical Fiction Novel Study. It doesn't leave much to plan except materials.

Good resource for explaining fractions with unlike denominators. This would also be a good review tool for the end of a unit.

Hi April. I rated your item full stars. I love it! I am also a follower now!!
Just 1 suggestion for the words you use as an example: italize or put in different color - more visible and easily identified.
Thanks for following me and rating my product. Good luck!!!
