Description
Designed for teachers, this digital download product includes the full 13-week COMPLETE lecture video links, Teacher's Guide/ Syllabus as well as the PPTs designed to enrich your learner’s understanding of the text: Whatever Happened to Penny Candy by Richard Maybury. I am creating this additional resource package to assist teachers in facilitating their own instruction and also to provide a video option for substitutes.
