⭐ This is a fantastic way to read two text on one topic. It includes a nonfiction passage and a narrative passage written from a first person point of view. The pictures enhance student learning. There is an audio piece for each passage. My kids loved these! I like that they are tied to historical events.

⭐ This was a nice resource for my fast finishers that are interested in historical events. It was a bit easy for my older gifted students (5th grade), but it was a good opener for more in-depth research.

⭐ I absolutely love this resource. I love all the different topics in the bundle. We recently did the Flu Epidemic perspective and the pictures for the students to look at really sparked a lot of conversations. The students found so many similarities between this time and what they are living through with Covid.
