What educators are saying
I loved the easy-to-follow layout of this unit. While I didn't use all pieces, it really helped me lay out and supplement my own unit and made sure I didn't miss anything!
This is one of the best resources I have ever purchased on TPT! Seniors write their memoirs and this lesson packet takes them through it step=by-step. I will definitely be using this with all my future 2nd semester senior English classes!

Here's teachers are saying about my mini lessons:
- "I love how this resource breaks down each step of the process for students to make it more manageable."
- "Your organization is outstanding, and your thorough planning (with ALL your mini-lessons) is appreciated more than you know. Even if I, myself, spent days creating a set of mini-lessons to use in class, I don't think they would give me the the comfort and excitement that yours do."
- "I love the option of creating a workbook for them at the beginning of the unit, and I especially love the "I Can" statements at the top of each lesson (my principal will love that, too!). The teacher pages are a huge part of what makes this so amazing, though; your instructions, notes, standards, and lesson calendars are so thorough and incredibly helpful. The name of your store really says it all...Just Add Students!!"
