FEEDBACK

This product was great. I loved how easy it was to put my own clues, challenges and road blocks in the realistic letters. The only thing I wish was that there were more ideas for those things...I teach Grade 6 and a neighborhood race would be great but I need some more ideas :)

Very good activity. Students can also work in teams - doesn't have to be done individually. Also there are some great dough recipes on the internet - cheaper than buying official Playdoh

It was confusing about the # of pages printed. Once the question was answered, the total amount of pages were available thru links at end of each section. I am using this application with my 4-5-6 grade students.

Just to clarify for future buyers: the initial download will include the unit plans and detailed lesson plans. At the end of each lesson plan are links to the rest of the downloadable materials that I created for each lesson (I uploaded all of these to Googledocs online to keep all of the materials organized). I have designed the download process in this way so that quizzes, graphic organizers, and other materials that go with each lesson are clearly associated with the appropriate lesson for which they are intended. It also allows for a continuous flow of all the lesson plans in the original downloaded product (without being cluttered by the individual materials that go with each lesson plan).

I'm am sorry that you were unable to access the PowerPoint. I have attached the same file that is in the product to an email for you. If this does not work, it may be that there is an issue with the PowerPoint software on your computer. Please let me know how you make out! I will help in whatever way I can! I know technology can be finicky and frustrating sometimes:-).

I have reviewed this game and I have played the dvd version that I purchased some years ago and my students loved it. This one seems to get more students involved so that I can use it over and over and the game is not over so quickly.

This is an absolutely fabulous, complete, and well thought out unit. It focuses on higher order thinking, and provides options on how to teach it. It has made my life so much easier. I just wish you had more of these. It is worth every penny!

Thank you for your feedback! When I did this lesson with my 5th graders for the first time, it certainly took quite a bit of guidance and I monitored their modeling at each stage. The second year I did this with my 5th grade class, I used an IPEVO document camera to clearly display the play-doh modeling at each stage (I demonstrated each step under the camera which projected what I was doing onto my whiteboard in real time). This really helped the students to successfully create their own model. I do believe it is invaluable for each student to engage in the hands-on experience. However, it is important to differentiate your use of this lesson based on the grade and level of independence of your students. Thank you, again, for bringing up this point for others to consider!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Sharyn Hebert Weber re: A Wrinkle in Time: Novel Study Unit Plan
The description states that there are 118 pages available for download but only 46 pages print. Where are the other pages?
April 21, 2013
The HOT Spot (TpT Seller)
The other pages are included at the end of each lesson plan as links to the other materials (to be downloaded and printed)...which end up totaling 118 pages once you've downloaded all the quizzes, graphic organizers, etc.
Thanks for asking!

annetteloewen re: A Wrinkle in Time: Novel Study Unit Plan
Do you know if this would work with the graphic novel version of this story?
March 9, 2013
The HOT Spot (TpT Seller)
I'm not very familiar with the graphic novel, but from what I was able to gather from a little research it doesn't look like it would work seamlessly. I'm sure you could tailor many of the ideas included in this novel study to match the graphic novel, but it would require some extra work.

Lauri Solla (TpT Seller) re: US History Critical Thinking Qs (Bloom's Taxonomy): 1950s and 1960s
Hello - I did a search for Civil Rights and your product came up. I purchased it -and it isn't what I thought it was...I teach Civics, not American history...I was hoping for questions related to specific court cases. It would be a great tool for an American history teacher.
Is there any way you would consider refunding my money?
Thanks in advance,
