HOW THE JUNKYARD WONDERS UNIT IS ORGANIZED:

The unit includes 46 pages of activities (23 in each format). You can pick and choose the parts you want to use and the order. However, my units are organized in a before, during, and after format. I typically project the part of the lesson I’m using to demonstrate my expectation and assign either the digital or print version for completion.
