Teacher TESTIMONIALS
I teach a gifted and talented language arts class, and sometimes it is a struggle to find units that focus on abstract reasoning and critical thinking instead of multiple choice questions. - Shannon H.

I appreciate these types of worksheets because they focus on higher-order depth of knowledge questions versus surface-level questions. Analyzing quotes leads to an analysis of characters, setting, plot, and author's purpose. Furthermore, the worksheets don't overwhelm the students and they are less likely to shut down during instruction. - Jennifer S.

I put my students in groups to discuss these quotes today. As I walked around the room, I was impressed with the lively discussion. One of my not-as-motivated students stopped by my desk when the bell rang and said, "That was fun." - Roberta H.

I really liked the quotes as a means of an anticipation guide instead of the usual bullet-ed Agree/Disagree or True/False statements. Excellent page layout too. - Dianne E.
