    I used this in my writing lessons to give students a choice for their informational essay. It was full of evidence that was used as sources for their writing.

    Perfect review for end of year testing

    I used this with 4th grade students to review for Georgia Milestone assessments. It is challenging enough for students to do independently.

    A well paired text sets

    I love this resource and am looking to purchase a few more! My only suggestion is a way to turn it into an online assignment for kids that might mimic online testing a bit easier. This is probably something that I can figure out, but haven’t yet. Overall, I love it!
