What educators are saying
I used this resource for notes about symbolism; students used the notes to write for a prompt on symbolism.
Awesome resource! Loved ending "Masque" with this creative project. The students embraced the activity and put a lot of thought into their masks. I learned a lot about my students through this assignment.
