Teacher Feedback

1. "This is a great value! I always find it difficult to assess the oral language expectations from the curriculum but now that I have this bundle, I will have an assignment for each term that I can use to report on. I love the variety of presentations. Also, the inclusion of success criteria and graphic organizers for each assignment is awesome!"
2. "I love all of your resources! I'm so excited about this one though because I find I struggle with finding meaningful oral communication projects. Often I just tell them to talk about something they like or their favourite movie etc.. so this is going to be an awesome addition to my resource bank!"
3. “I love the ideas here! And, as usual, everything is beautifully presented and well laid out. Thank you!”
4. "A valuable resource for any teacher starting out in teaching debating in a classroom environment. Thank you for your hard work, your resource is wonderful!"
