Lesson Tips I go through about 2 pages per day
with my students copying the notes before our
state test. However, you can also print this
powerpoint for them. If you print slides 2-35 in
handout mode with 2 slides per page, it will come
out like the blank notes packet but filled in.
(This is why there are maps on slides 2-3). All
text in this powerpoint can be edited as well. If
you would like an editable word document rather
than the PDF, please just contact me through the
store!
Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing this product! It has
helped my classes improve so much in preparation
for our state tests. I am confident that you will
see a similar increase in comprehension!
