It is perfect for teachers looking to provide high-quality, differentiated materials.

To challenge those working at greater depth, we have included a series of higher-order thinking questions on the reverse.

Use this mat for independent study, paired speaking practice, or as a scaffold for creative writing tasks where students must document a day in the life of a fictional character.
