What educators are saying

I used this to introduce the folklore genre to my ELLs in middle and high school. So many of these stories are just not part of their culture, but are sometimes referenced in various high stakes exams. This was a fabulous resource to get them some background information.
The information on this presentation is very informative and it was a great way to start the fairy tale unit I was doing. I ended up redoing the layout because it wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but that is more me than the product. The product is thorough and intelligently created.
