You guys ready for the new semester? 
Personally, I am thinking of quickly doing the speaking part of the book, and devoting the rest of the class to speaking activities unrelated to the text.....
I have found the powerpoint + game format to be too teacher centered.....would like to have the kids talking the majority of the class.
I found what seems to be a good speaking book here...
I have the first 17 lessons all ready to go for Grade 1 - it's been a long winter and I've been able to build on what worked last year. I'll be posting all my lessons somewhere, soon.
They will mainly be ppt / games format because it works with my classes of 25+ boys. A quick peek at recent test scores showed that my classes are roughly divided 50/50 with kids scoring in the 20s and the rest scoring in the 90s. Student talking (to each other) just doesn't work with that kind of ability range, at least not without a lot of manipulation and KT co-operation. Best I can do it is make the games useful and student focused.
The TTM books are great though - I used them last year for my before and after school classes. I have adapted a few of the activities for whole class lessons, but sadly too much is too resource intense or student ability dependent to work in my classes.
