I’m not sure if I misread the age level, but I’m a high school teacher, and much of this is amazing for elementary, and some even for middle school, but for high school English, much of it would be a stretch to fit into curriculum. I did get a couple ideas I could twist to work. There were also several ideas our library could put on for students.
