The texts included are:

I would love to see a Google Slides version of this, just to cut down on paper usage. I know a few of your activities have Slides options now, and I think they are really great to add to Google Classroom.
Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your comment! We appreciate any feedback that helps make our resources even better! So we can keep all of our suggestions together, please submit a change suggestion to this resource using the ‘Suggest a Change’ tab above the comments section. Thanks again!
I really really like these activities but I think they would be enhanced if each colour had a specific meaning eg: green was only used for verbs, red is only used for noun related concepts, etc This way the students will retain an understanding from one sheet to the next.
That's a really good idea, Casey. Thank you for the suggestion!
