Easily adaptable and simple to implement into any current lesson plans. My students liked the resource and it really helped with driving their participation and engagement in my lesson. Easy to follow, understand, and imagine how to incorporate the resource into lessons from a teachers perspective too!

My students have been reluctant to read this summer unless it was a fantasy book. I chose Wednesday Wars due to the story content, history it encompasses, and an opportunity for my students to increase vocabulary and understanding of life in the 60's which was the precursor for today.
