My students, ELA teachers and I LOVE this resource!! I’ve used it for a few years now, and appreciate the update. Blending the genres for personalities like ‘The Innovator’ helps students think about genres they might not have considered. The bookmarks are a huge hit, and I love that I can use this for both my 6th graders and 8th graders with equal enthusiasm.
