Brandie H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I used this resource when my students were studying about deadly diseases. I had them compare and contrast deadly diseases from the past to the pandemic we are experiencing today with the Coronavirus. It gave them a true look at how history repeats itself in some aspects. They really enjoyed the assignment."

In fact it was so well done that I bridged a research paper from this activity as well. It was such a relief to have a relevant and well-made activity readily available at such a critical time. The author did a great job at compiling information and making thought-provoking and worthwhile questions. Seriously, thank you!!!"
