This was a hard product to use during distance learning.
I purchased this product, especially for the task cards. Unfortunately, the task cards did not open or fully load so I was not able to use it at all. I was extremely disappointed and would like a refund for this purchase.
I ordered this on accident, as I was looking at two different resources. I am tutoring a 6th grade student and wanted a resource that provided daily work. Overall, the structure just wasnt appealing to either my student or I. It proved a little to difficult to do digitally. Perhaps it would be better to use for in-person learning. Overall, it just wasn't for me.
I have started using this for my students as spiral review. However, it is definitely not for spiral review. It covers mid to end of year concepts in the first week. I am having to do A LOT of editing with this, which I wish I didn't have to do since the reason I bought it was to make distance learning easier.
This was SO repetitive. My daughter would cry when I would say that we were going to do our grammar work. There is really no variety or way to make this a fun learning experience. The power point program was by far the best part of this resource. I had high hopes for this, but unfortunately we will not be using this grammar resource.

Is there an answer key available?
These do not include sample answers since the questions are so open-ended. Most of the questions can be answered in multiple, and even conflicting, ways.
Could you make a depth and complexity novel study for the book "Ungifted"?
Hi Natalie! Thanks for your interest! I don't have plans to create this at this time, but I will keep this in mind for future projects.
Is there any way to make this digital so that my students can fill it in directly on Google Classroom rather than printing it out?
Hi Erika,
Unfortunately, we are not able to create the digital versions of these at this time. You are more than welcome to use the printable versions you own to create your own Google Slides to use with your students only.
is this resource usable with other books?? can I apply it to any book we are reading or is it only specific to Tuck Everlasting??
Hi Zeinab! This is only for Tuck Everlasting. If you are looking for a more universal resource, you may want to check out this: https://teacherthrive.com/product/depth-and-complexity-task-cards-for-literature/
This downloaded as only one page with clip art.
Hi! Please make sure you are opening and printing the file from the latest version of Adobe reader.
I just wanted to let you know that the cover page is for Tuck Everlasting, but the description is for The Giver :-)
Thanks, Danielle, for letting me know!! I just fixed it.
