A compelling, engaging, and organized resource my students and I enjoyed
Thank you for creating such a useful resource!
A great addition to my toolkit.
I sed the outline portion of this resource with my freshman English class. It set them up well for the first essay that they wrote in my class.
Saved me time. I will use this resource for years to come.
This lesson was put together very well. I felt that my students benefited from going over how to structure compare and contrast essays as sometimes they struggle with organization. Thanks!
This unit is thorough from start to finish. My students commented on the seamless approach to this writing assignment.
We compared Night to When the Emperor was Divine. This sheet was fantastic for my students to outline their thoughts and synthesis the material. Wish there was a sample rubric though
