What teachers just like you are saying about this St. Patrick's Day Activity Pack!

"My students are absolutely enjoying this mega pack!!! I love the depth and complexity questions that you created as well as the task card version of the questions. My students thought those were quite fancy when they saw them, which increased their engagement. The Molly Murphy story kept them fully engaged. They allowed me to read it to them, and I was so animated, that they could not wait to have a discussion when I was finished. The selection of writing prompts was perfect, and the ease of saving the slide and assigning it as a Google Doc for them to complete and submit to me was PERFECT!!! Thank you for including the link to the video for the dyeing of the river in Chicago! They really liked that. I can add this mega pack to the Christmas and Thanksgiving ones. You won't be disappointed! - Chanel K.

✔️This product assumes familiarity with the Depth & Complexity framework, but if you don't use it, you can just ignore the symbols.

✔️There are two pages of special helps for using the resource in Google Classroom™. Not all of the pages are in the Google Slides version because they're teacher resources or black and white versions.
