What educators are saying
This is my favorite end of the year unit. The students enjoy acting out the teleplay, the activities aren't very hard, and I do not have to get too in-depth on the content. The students really enjoy watching the Twilight Zone episode when we are all done.
Great resource! This was perfect for comparing and contrasting the text with the Twilight Zone episode.
