Has anyone tried working with this text. It's dreadful it's way too hard for most of the students. The co-teacher just translates most of it and sometimes uses me as a human tape recorder.

I am getting the impression that you have a lazy coteacher. If you're not so lazy and have the fortitude to suggest to your coteacher that maybe you could try a different approach in class, then you might have more effective classes. I usually take what each book lesson is "trying" to teach and re-work it into a better activity, lesson, or game. I have the support of all my coteachers in this approach, the students are more involved, and, surprise, they pay better attention.

I'm guessing this thread is sarcasm from the other current "Middle school English" book thread.

Depends on what parts of the book.

What is a bad weed.

Are terrible terrible lessons.

THe author Stephen P Van Vleck should have his Masters and Phd removed for allowing his name to be put on garbage like this.
