We get it, you love this lesson, you can’t wait to tell the teacher next door about it. But hey, just wait a sec! Two seasoned teachers poured their hearts into crafting this lesson, complete with some seriously spectacular resources. Instead of slipping it to the teacher next door, spread the love and share our page with them instead. It would mean the world to us.



If used as part of a unit of work, it is a good way to integrate this topic. I would align it with my lessons on morphology.
Unique. Helped complete work on their own and proofread each other's assignments.
