Paula – COLUMBIA-BRAZORIA ISD (verified owner) – July 12, 2022

The first part was a bit slow to me- every language teacher should know these forms of figurative language, though the list of mentor texts was valuable. It was the second part that I really found most helpful. LOTS of ideas for descriptive and narrative writing for all ages.
