Great product for giving practice with a complex topic. My 8th graders have a hard time deciding between ethos/logos--this helped! Awesome product.

Provided a clear explanation of tone and mood...worked well to help students take notes. I changed some of the example sentences; however, because I did not think they were appropriate.

Teacher Tricks (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you were able to adjust the materials to fit your needs (that is why I offer most of my documents as an editable Word file...many other TPT sellers only offer their products as PDFs or read-only files).
I would be interested to know why you thought "some" of the example sentences were not appropriate. Are you referring to one of the example sentences on tone? "If I had a family member who was injured by a gun, my tone in an article I wrote about guns would probably be ________________." (A suggested answer would be "serious" or "formal.")
I guess if this is what you are referring to, then it's important to consider the demographics of your students, as you did, and change the sentence to suit your students' experiences. However, this sentence is rather effective for my students because many of them already understand the seriousness of guns and weapons, and the answer of "serious" would be what they would give. It's not like the sentence really allows for answers like "fun" or "casual." This would be silly. So, I wouldn't call this sentence "inappropriate" even though I understand where you might be coming from, if in fact this is the sentence you were referring to.

Again, I am so sorry that you are less than satisfied with your purchase. Didn't you read the product description, view the sample images, or download the preview file before purchasing? You had plenty of opportunities to acquaint yourself with the product, as well as to know exactly what to expect, before purchasing.
(And, as you probably know, not all sellers take the time or make the effort to be as transparent with their products as I have been with mine. I think you should reserve your disdain for those who actually deserve it.)
In any case, I just know you'll love the Seventh Grade Curriculum All-in-One DEAL: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Seventh-Grade-Curriculum-All-in-one-DEAL

I am so sorry that you are less than satisfied with your purchase. However, a 2.0 out of 4.0 rating is rather unfair. Didn't you read the product description, view the sample images, or download the preview file before purchasing? You had plenty of opportunities to acquaint yourself with the product, as well as to know exactly what to expect, before purchasing.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
English Teacher, grades 7 - 12, Author, and Curriculum Writer
MY TEACHING STYLE
Have you ever sat in a class where you felt like you didn't matter? It's the worst! My teaching style aims to eliminate the I-dont-belong attitude among students in 21st century education by including students in the learning process. My curriculum materials are interactive, requiring students to think about the material that they are learning. It is a win-win situation: we like teaching when students are learning, and students like learning when it is enjoyable! You can count on Teacher Tricks to give you practical classroom materials that will hold your students' attention while teaching them a ton.
