I liked it! Lots of great ideas, especially in terms of writing. My only critique is that it’s a longer course. She introduced ideas, then circled back around to them later, so sometimes, I was lost. That being said, I really liked what she presented and will use it in my classroom.

I wish she would have spent more time at the end-she said she is running out of time. Good materials for various age groups if the teacher can adapt for the younger groups.
