Overall good resource

May 20, 2018 | By Emerald

I really like almost everything in this book. It provides a lot of standards based resources for before, during, and after reading. Disappointed that the book defines theme as one word ideas. I will have to edit that assignment if I use it. I like the research activity ideas and how it encourages cultural connections.

Staff's Response: Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so glad that you can find lots of uses for the activities in your classroom! However, the theme activity you mentioned does not define theme as one word ideas. The activity does have two examples of one-word themes so perhaps this gives the impression that themes have been limited to a single word.

Part-Time Indian/ Part-Time Curriculum

Oct 4, 2019 | By Carla

First, I want to start by saying I love this brand of curriculum. I have purchased many Navigation downloads, and this one does not disappoint! Students find the activities to be engaging and I appreciate the discussion questions. However, it does not have something for each chapter; it skips around the book, which is fine. Overall, I really like this guide book, and I find it very helpful!
