This was a good project for my homeschooled children, after watching the movie Lord of the Flies. It led to a very productive discussion about why we need laws and how they are developed.

I really like this product but I found that the file didn't download as correctly as I would've liked. The circles rearranged themselves and I couldn't figure out how to put them back in their proper places. Haven't been able to use so far.

The test itself was good. However, if I am going to pay money for a test, it should have a key. I can make my own key, but that takes TIME, which is why I didn't make my own test in the first place.

Love the questions, I used them a little differently in my own anticipatory set; having students rate the statements from 1-10 with how strongly they agree or disagree with them. When I attempted to print it out, I lost both the top and bottom of the page and I felt that the directions in the lower right hand corner of the page to be confusing. I wasn't really sure about what they were supposed to do or where to put the sentences once they were cut out.

Mrs PH (TpT Seller) re: Nature vs Nurture lesson, materials, assignments
Just an FYI but on page 12 (under Harlow's experiments) you have "despair" spelled incorrectly.
Also on page 8, "effects" is used incorrectly and should be "affects."
Thought you'd like to know so you can change it!

Dosieru re: Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time Final Project
I ordered the Curious Incident Final Project and didn't realize it was word perfect and I can't open it. Is there any way you could send it to me as a word document or even copy it into the body of an email? It looks great and I am bummed I can't use it. Thanks. drutkowski@me.com

jcferguson (TpT Seller)
I'll see what I can do to get it into a Word document. It may take me a day or two since I have to use a friend's computer. If I am not able to I will arrange a full refund for you.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am in the midst of my seventh year teaching at the high school level. My subjects include junior and senior English, the Social Sciences and Canadian Law, although I will teach whatever they send my way!
MY TEACHING STYLE
Every class is different, and I adjust my methods accordingly. Regardless of all other factors, I strive to treat each student with respect and to approach each day with a sense of humour.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I completed a 2 year diploma program at Sheridan College in Oakville and spent 2 years as a travel agent before deciding that I was not cut out for the world of sales. I returned to uni at 23 attending the University of Waterloo. I achieved my BA English Literature with Honours and went on to the University of Auckland in New Zealand to do my BEd. I returned to my home town and am currently teaching at my old high school side by side with some of my former teachers! (It only took my 3 months to call them by their first names!)
