NOTES

• This book companion is a supplemental product. You can choose the most relevant pages for your needs and the ability and understanding of your students.
• The purple text on the ‘Teacher Notes’ pages is specific to the book. These ideas are my interpretation, but they will give you a head start.
• The questions and activities are opinion based, so there are NO answer keys. The activities were designed to be open-ended for easy differentiation.
• Please ask any questions before purchasing.
