All the Literature, June 2, 2022 - I really liked the vocabulary sheet that came with this file. It was really helpful to get my students into the novel and understand the different terms that they would be exposed to. I work primarily with ELL, so having a vocabulary sheet that they could refer back to throughout the novel was very helpful! Thank you!!
