TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aimee B. says, "This was perfect for our study of regions. I liked that each brochure is specific to each of the 50 states. It specified what exactly facts my students were to research - which prevented them from just writing generic answers down. I will definitely use this again."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christa H. says, "My students loved using this resource! It was very easy to use and offered a lot of different options. Definitely recommend!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Miss Nichol's Classroom says, "My students enjoyed creating their pamphlet about their chosen state. The template supported their understanding and guided them to create great work. Thanks! :)"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Research Based Teaching Tools says, "This resource was not only engaging, it was inline with our curriculum. Students were so engaged looking up information on their own state.
