I am a visual person. Would love to have a few pictures as to how to assemble.
Hmmm, this resource has potential, but is confusing as is. What in the world do all of the dfferent icons represent? Also, a sample answer key is missing. Yes, there are multiple answers to the questions, but I have seen other resources offer them anyways. The worksheets also lack definitions or an area to write definitions for key terms used such as irony and paradox. I like the questions, but will have to spend a lot of time making it fit my needs. Seriously, one of the first things that kids are going to ask are what the icons represent. I can't figure it out nor could my husband who is a lawyer!
I am so sorry you are disappointed. This resource is based on The Depth and Complexity Framework. You can find more information about these icons online.

The pages and activities are a bit repetitive. Consistency is great, but I had to change things up otherwise my kids were getting too bored.
Not to thrilled about the quality of copies. Looks like they are scanned copies.
Hi Nicole. Are you using the latest version of Adobe Reader to open this file? They should NOT look like scanned copies; I made these in Adobe Illustrator and when I open and print them they are very crisp. Please contact customer support if you are continuing to have problems with the file.
Thank you for sharing
