    The course is definitely aimed for higher achieving students, but there are still some things that are applicable for a gen ed classroom.

    A lot of the information given, I have already seen before and therefore serves as a reminder that the resources and ideas mentioned are good tools to use in the classroom.

  16. Sara – Bexley City Schools (verified owner)

    It was good— I would appreciate more range of grade level books. Many of the books were for elementary, and while I understand the choice projects could be applied to middle grades— it would be nice to hear some ways in which you use other novels.
