[Rebekah · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ideas for reading responses were great and covered many of the standards. Four stars simply because many of them aren’t what I would consider mini lessons. Many of them are more like projects that would take several class periods to complete. Having said that, some of them are still worth doing even though they would take time!
