On Saturday, I received the first review for one of my free products--a "FRIES" Powerpoint. It teaches students an acronym to help them add support to their writing. "FRIES" stands for Facts, Reasons, Incidents, Examples, and Statistics/Supporting Details. The first person rated the product a 3.5/4 stars overall and commented that it was very creative. However, the final score from the evaluator was a 2.8. I was devastated. I thought I was giving teachers a valuable tool to use in their classrooms, but I knew no one would even look at it with a score of 2.8. For a split second, I wanted to give up, but I have never been a quitter and was not ready to start. This morning, I found that a few other teachers evaluated the product. Each of them gave the product 4/4 stars, so I have a store average of 3.8/4.0. I am feeling so much better. I'm glad other teachers found the product useful. That is what I wanted.
I currently have 7 products on the www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/tonya-davis website. This week I plan on creating a few more quality products. I am amazed at the products I have found on the website. Teachers across the country are raising the bar and this can only benefit students.
