What grades is this intended for?
This should work for either middle or high school students. I have used it with 9th through 12th graders, but these activities don’t require any high school-specific skills. Please read the description and examine the preview file closely to determine if it is appropriate for your students.

What supports are included? Can I modify this?
Detailed teacher directions and editable Google files are included so you can modify activities to suit your group’s needs and setting.
