Purpose - Very Clear

• The purpose of the resource is to provide English-related teaching materials and lesson plans for various ages, skill levels, and purposes to educators. 

• The purpose is clear, and the design is easy to follow. There is no immediate clear bias, though it may be subtly possible given the number of resources available. 

Relevance to English/Language Arts - Very Relevant 

• This resource is very relevant to English teaching, as there is instructional material for both children of all ages and adults. 

• This resource specifically deals with English teaching resources and includes various types of lesson plans, articles, goals, and themes. 

Accuracy - Very Accurate 

• Each individual resource, be it video, music, article, or lesson plan, is cited with a short description of the resource.

Enjoyable - Enjoyable 

• The amount of resources, lessons, articles, videos, and games, is incredibly vast, making it enjoyable to review.
