Playing around with AI to create some guided reading resources for the βPower and Conflictβ anthology in the style of @SPBealeβs history template. The essays need a bit of editing but they may be of use for Year 10/11. Use/chuck/change as you see fit!

Iβm late to the party with this one but THIS BOOK. Iβm only 25% of the way through and it is so good. One of those novels that becomes your entire personality - when Iβm reading it, Iβm immersed and when Iβm not reading it, itβs all Iβm thinking about. Superb!
