Teacher feedback:
- I used this for my freshman as an introduction to the immune system. I did a jigsaw and made groups experts on a particular section of the graphic organizer that aligned with the provided text. The students were able to discuss and confer their understanding. Some even colored it in. Love this and would use it again.
- Students really enjoyed this packet. The questions at the end of each section make it easy for kids to process what they learned. Many told their parents all about it and were able to articulate how the immune system works. It's relevant to what is going on in the world today while not overwhelming kids with all the bad news. Thank you!
- My students loved the sketch note section. They were able to show what they knew and do it in a fun and creative way.
- This paired PERFECTLY with our immune system unit. It was great test prep! Thank you
