How to use this packet for distance learning:

If your students are on Google Classroom, simply use the included link to “make a copy” for your Google Drive.

Before sending the copy out to students, check to make sure you want all the pages included (the first 2 pages are directions for teachers, so you’ll want to remove those from student copies).

I regularly add new products for school librarians and English teachers, particularly for middle school, to my store. All my new products are half-off for the first 48 hours.

Take advantage of the “First 48 Half-Off” by clicking here to follow my store. Following my store will give you notifications of when new products are posted. I also post all my new products to my MrsReaderPants FaceBook page and on my MrsReaderPants blog email list.
