Reviews
Thank you for the feedback! I see what you mean and totally agree! I’m going to revise this to include a CER paragraph synthesizing two points to help better prepare them for the exam. Appreciate your insight!
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for letting me know. I put this together a few years ago with the support of some students, and had no idea. I will immediately change this! If you see this and can help identify the character I need to change, that would be helpful. Thank you again!
