This has some great ideas in it and some really interesting words that my students enjoyed (I used a couple of activities out of it during that last couple of weeks of school). However, on one of the activities I had selected the crossword puzzle SAID that it was checking to see how well we knew the words we had just learned in the chapter. However, NONE of the words were the ones from the chapter. So, at the last minute, while my students were scratching their heads in frustration, I was looking at the key in the book to create a word bank for them. So, if I do use this book next year, I will certainly not simply use it page-by-page. I'll look closely at it and make sure everything fits together like I thought it was going to do initially!
