I love the concept, and there is a lot out there on the Internet. I had to filter through some in regards to presenting to middle schoolers.
April 14, 2013
DeeDumTweedle (TpT Seller)
Oh, yes, I can see how some may be questionable for middle school. I will create a more age appropriate one with that suggestion in mind.

This project is a good idea and aligned to common core, but it is not well explained. It is not worth the two dollars.

Helped with students' notes, and provided interesting background for them.

Very thorough sheets for students. The only thing I would say is to add an instructional outline; I could figure it out but it just would have saved a little time. Overall, a great resource! Thank you!

I used this as a get-to-know-you activity. The students really enjoyed it. I will definitely use this again.

DeeDumTweedle (TpT Seller)
GREAT! Something else to try: post them in the room without names attached. The students read them and truly reflect on what is composed. It also gives a bit more "freedom" for the student to express their thoughts. (Mind you, the name is for you!)

This is a great powerpoint and I was able to do so much with it. Absolutely worth the money.
August 17, 2011
DeeDumTweedle (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much! I feel like it works extremely well with my students too. There is a free (obviously, since it's Swift's work not mine) annotated copy of "A Modest Proposal" that corresponds with the questions if you want to download it.
