Nice.
Glad you liked it.
Fun and engaging! Students loved it. Thanks!
So glad your students loved it.
My students LOVED this activity. It was one of the best purchases I've made on TPT. I teach 7th grade ELA and wasn't sure if the students would get some of the references, but they knew much more than I thought they would. It was good for pointing out the difference between concise writing and writing that is wordy.
I really appreciate the feedback.
