Hello there fellow educators.

​

I hope you enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed making it :)

​

I recommend making copies of everything, keeping one as your Master, and using the others to remix and make your own.

​

All Padlet links have been disabled. Make your own and link to them, or use a completely different tool.

​

I use this unit at the end of the school year, so it’s not as robust as some of the other Hyperdocs I’ve made. However, the goal I have is for my students to leave 8th grade with a greater sense of purpose and understanding of who they are, how to treat others, and where they fit into the great world around them.

​

Use, change, remix, and delete to your heart’s delight. That’s the beauty of this deal, do with it what you like :)

​

Stay Gold and remember that we are truly #BetterTogether!
