What educators are saying
This has been a great resource for my AP Lit class as we read Things Fall Apart. It has made my lesson planning time easier and the students appreciate that I was able to give them the notes packet in its entirety rather than piecemeal. Thank you for creating this resource!
I cannot praise this resource enough! It is thorough and engaging and I cannot wait to use it again this year. Thank you so much!

- STR 3.E – Explain the function of a significant event or related set of significant events in a plot.
- STR 3.F – Explain the function of a conflict in a text.
- NAR 4.C – Identify and describe details, diction, or syntax in a text that reveal a narrator’s or speaker’s perspective.
- LAN 7.B – Develop a thesis statement that conveys a defensible claim about an interpretation of literature and that may establish a line of reasoning.
- LAN 7.C – Develop commentary that establishes and explains relationships among textual evidence, the line of reasoning, and the thesis.
- LAN 7.D – Select and use relevant and sufficient evidence to both develop and support a line of reasoning.
The slideshow notes, quizzes, and test are in PowerPoint and Word form so you can make edits. Most other resources are in PDF form. The files are clear and colorful, as well as thought-provoking and ready to use.
