⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Ramona said, "This is the best unit for this podcast. There are two types of questions: multiple choice (for my grade 3 learners) and the short answer for grade 8 learners. This allowed me to differentiate the work to meet my student's needs. Also, the generic graphic organizers provide additional learning opportunities for the podcast beyond listening comprehension. I am extremely satisfied; I wish I bought the bundle."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
