Beth G –
We were FLOORED by the depth and detail of this unit! The material is so well researched and developed. I am working with a small group of middle/high school students ranging 6th-9th grade and they’ve found the content super engaging. There is so much in each lesson, this will be a unit we work through over time- which I love because we can weave it into the curriculum we already had going. Excellent option for secular homeschoolers looking for deep-dive, own-voice resources!
Meg (store manager) –

We are delighted your students are finding the stories of real culture creators engaging, and that the depth & breadth of the material will serve you in good stead over time!
