Teacher Feedback:

1. “This has been a great addition to my social studies curriculum”

2. “This resource is easy complements the original resource nicely. Lesson can be assigned in sections, reducing the complexity of the expectations students are required to work with. Thanks!”

3. “I used this resource for students in my class who were on IEP's. I loved it because it was exactly the same topic that the rest of the students were doing, which made these students feel more inclusive. I also loved it because it allowed the students to feel successful as the readings and activities were at their level while still teaching the Grade 6 Ontario curriculum.”
