I created this product because I had a 45-minute class period to teach literature, writing, grammar, and vocabulary in a differentiated classroom. My 8th grade students had a wide range of abilities and backgrounds in English. I needed a way to cover multiple skills in a short amount of time. I hope this product helps you, too!
