Ms Kate's English, Psychology and World History Materials

Dear fellow teachers around the world, I have produced a variety of materials for my English, psychology, sociology, and world history classes. Most of them are designed to promote critical thinking but still very entertaining as they either have some role-play features or interactive activities involved. Feel free to contact me if you have any inquiries :)
