This is great! The rubric-style is good for students to use since they are so familiar with this method that teachers use. Also giving them the language is a positive , for sure.

Hello.
This is my first year teaching 12th grade. I just bought your unit for Things Fall Apart. I, however, am having difficulty with the download. Am I doing something wrong? It keeps going to PowerArchiver and will not let me download the unit. Is there a way I may access the document as word or pdf since I have now bought the document.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Regarding the point-of-view lesson, I opened it with an unzip program, but when the point-of-view icon comes up, and I open it, the pages are blank. If you could send it to me, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

August 20, 2009
kmsst66 (TpT Seller)
Betsy, do you have an unzip program? If not, they are free and easy to download. Do you have a Mac or PC? Otherwise, if you give me your email, I think I can email it to you directly.

I just purchased your Plagiarism lesson. How many pages are there supposed to be? There's a blank page at the end that I'm not sure if it's supposed to be anything. Thank you! Betsy
August 11, 2009
kmsst66 (TpT Seller)
Betsy - that last page isn't supposed to be anything. Not sure why it added a blank page, but you can disregard it.

neesienoodle (TpT Seller) re: Poetry/Imagery Homework Sheet
I wanted to let you know that I clicked the download button to purchase your worksheet, and it opened without my ever paying for it. If you get this fixed let me know, and I will pay you the $1 I owe. I thought you would want to know about this in case it is happening to others.

kmsst66 (TpT Seller)
Actually, that file is free! I'm not sure why it even says $1. Hope it comes in handy!
Cheers,
