What educators are saying

This was my first year teaching AP Lang and this resource helped me so much. The lessons were well thought out , but also left plenty of room for me to modify for the needs of my students.
This unit really helped my AP Language students better understand how to work through the Argument prompt -- especially the logical fallacies!

Stellar Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My AP Lang class was beginning to hit a slump. I used up all of my creativity! Thank you for helping me invigorate my lessons. This bundle is packed full of useful materials. C.A.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This unit was absolutely wonderful. As a first year teacher with little experience teaching argument, it was guided, relevant, engaging and the students have been thoroughly enjoying themselves. Christina
