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 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.
