Hatchet Novel Study: Digital + Printable Book Unit: activities & quizzes

Absolutely amazing! I teach an adult ESOL class and this study guide is exactly what I needed! The vocabulary was excellent pre-teaching material and the questions were perfect. I had to do nothing! I enjoyed this Hatchet study guide so much that I purchased several other study guides from Gay Miller. Because I like her material so much, she’s my first choice for go-to material! THANK YOU!!!!
