What Teachers Are Saying About The Veldt Short Story Unit Resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great resource to use! My students loved creating the Real State Listing. It was a very engaging way of dealing with the short story.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Reading Comprehension questions were very useful, but my students really loved completing the enrichment activities: Missing Persons Report and Real Estate Listing. Such a fun way to engage students and get them to think more carefully about the details of the text--great practice selecting evidence without writing (and grading) an essay!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have said this with every one of your resources that I have bought...I am so appreciative of the presentations! They're engaging, neatly organized, and make the information accessible for all of my students. Great resource!
