In Medias Grades –
I enjoyed this resource, although the use of it wasn’t as seamless as I’d hope with virtual learning. I wish that either the task cards were made into Google Slides or in Google Forms already to really market it as “digital”. It was still very “physical material-friendly” when I attempted to use it, but I just made the forms myself and made it into slides myself.
UPDATE: I see that it’s been updated and there are Google versions of the materials, so it’s more “digital learning” friendly now.
Wonders Resources –
This was so nice to have Digital form of task cards so kids can practice without having to share and touch cards.

I am very pleased with the overall quality of this product. It’s a very nice supplement to my current ELA unit. I haven’t used all parts yet, but there is a typo in Hyperboles task card #8 “I want to cookies everyday.” And I can’t made changes when the online and pdf files are locked.
