✔ It’s easy to implement with distance learning.

✔ It’s just fun to use!

Can I edit this resource?

I have left 95% of the texts in editable form for two reasons:

➀ to ensure that students are able to use Google Read & Write with the activities.

➁ to allow teachers to edit texts and tasks when they feel it suitable for their class or to address IEP accommodations for specific students.

How do I collect student work?

Your students will simply complete their own copies of the lessons, and turn it into your platform (ie. Google Classroom).
