Awesome resource! I used this in my classroom to practice point of view with students. The texts are rigorous and the questions provide students with the chance to practice multiple choice and short answer skills. I appreciate the noted and different lexile level provided. It helps me in differentiation and in building the rigor as we go! I love how the color coding is a helpful reminder to students to go back and cite their text evidence!
