My students love story asking and acting out their roles. Such a great resource!

I purchased this for use next year and so I have no seen it in action, however, I can't wait. I love the story and the MANY activities that go with it to provide lots of input without boring students. I am really excited for the authres as I love using them, but sometimes have a hard time making them truly comprehensible.

There are so many great activities in this lesson = I wish I had time to do them all! My students loved the reading and really enjoyed the Kagan "Fan-n-Pick" activity the most!
