Harriet said,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great passage with very comprehensive questions"

This lesson is packed with reading and writing standards as students analyze text, interpret words and phrases, read complex literature, write arguments using valid reasoning, produce clear writing as they complete short research projects, and write routinely.

Read a sample from this product so you can see the quality of my writing.

Our New York streets were made of dirty cobblestone with rats scurrying across the rocks to fight a man for a morsel of bread. The alleyways smelled of rancid butter, rotting potatoes, and dead dogs and cats. I’d wandered the streets for several months looking for work in order to pay rent to live with nineteen others in a shabby apartment in the Bronx. Rent was due. My landlord made sure I was aware of it, but I’d exhausted all the spare change that used to jingle in my pocket.
