Teacher Feedback
- “Thank you so much for this! What a great short unit for this last week before the break! I was looking for something a little different this week but still structured and relevant. This is perfect.”
- “I used this the week before Christmas break. The students really enjoyed it. That ad - what a gem! Thanks for a very engaging week-long activity that kept my kids' attention during a crazy week! The assessments were very easy to mark after as well. I enjoyed reading my students' personal reflections about the various media types - they definitely gave the categories some honest comments!”
- “Very clear and thorough set to give students some multimedia lessons! I like that it has multiple modes of learning (speaking, listening, reading, etc.) and that it would be easy for an ELA or Social Studies teacher to use (and assess).”
- "This is a great activity to do before break. Engaging, cross-curricular and relevant. A nice way to sneak in some more media before reports too! I love everything from this seller, highly recommend anything she makes! Thank you for sharing your skills, Kristy!"
