My students absolutely love this resource. I have only used a few of the units so far and plan on using this resource for the rest of the school year.
My students have told me they understand the material extremely well and they enjoy how it is laid out. They have told me that the activities are good, they are not too hard but take time and are a great way to review and practice what they have learned.
They love the escape rooms and are very competitive to see who can get out first.
I teach grade 9 World Geography in the Middle East at an all girls school and this resource has been perfect for them. “ —-Teenina

This bundle is amazing!! It has everything you can think of notes, powerpoints, activities and more! After teaching for ten years I threw everything I had away because I thought I was done teaching after we moved away. As luck would have it, a year and a half later I'm going back into the classroom and starting over. This bundle was the perfect start for me to start building my collection over again. I would recommend this to anyone!--Andrea
