⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Erin M. wrote, “This was great for my mixed group of level 1 and 2 students. They did not know anything about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement and it was engaging and at their level.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angela M. wrote, “My students were super engaged with these resources and the scaffolds were awesome. I used these in small groups all throughout the week to teach my Newcomers about MLK Jr and Civil Rights (most for the first time!) and we really enjoyed it. Thanks for making something fun and well done that my students can really do at their level!”
