Of Mice and Men Interactive Notebook:
"This was absolutely the best thing I used all year! I used this product with my resource Language Arts class. These are students who are in high school, but are reading at the fifth grade level. I am still required to teach them "Of Mice and Men." As a result of using this interactive notebook, my special education kids knew this book like the back of their hands! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"
