2015 Reading Three

 What do you like about the book?  I like her honesty about what she decided needed improvement in this 2nd edition. I also like that she said that teachers liked the 1st edition too much. At first, I was thinking, “haha, what?” but once I read her rationale about this text becoming the instruction instead of a helpful manual, I got what she was saying.  I also like that she had included a CD and bibliography full of resources.
What resources will be helpful? I think all of the information provided will be helpful: the CD, the text itself, and the bibliography. I think it’s extraordinary that she thought about using the CD in a tech-savvy course with an overheard or whiteboard.

Concerns about the book? I don’t have any concerns about the book, yet, but we are only through the introduction. I may voice concerns as our reading progresses, but I believe that this author has her bases covered so far.
