The Classroom Under the Stairs –
This was a great before Thanksgiving break writing activity. I love all the steps inside of the flip book. Everything was wonderful. My only wish was that the example was in the 5 paragraph format since that’s how we teach opinion writing here, but it was easy to make work with some tweaking
