I am!! They so far seem worse than the old ones.  It just seems to be all CD work so that the teachers don't have to do anything but play the CD and tell the kids to work in the books. 

c_makitalo:
I know they are hard to make lessons off of.  I am only using the Year 1 text.  This is my PPT for that lesson. Hope it helps.  I start off with an introduction to me which leads into the chapters about introductions.

Rutten:
i used these last year and i have to use them again this year... and yeah, they're pretty bad. i suggest just speeding through the boring stuff and just developing on the activity when you get to it. the CD is quite handy though, i thought. you can ask extra questions about the dialogue to make things more interesting. it's like flogging a dead horse though lol..

girodimo:
OK. I am not the only one with these books. Thanks for the replies.

I'm trying to be more consistent with my lessons plans this year. In the past I tried various lesson formats to achieve the lesson goals. The plans were structured but, from lesson to lesson I think they varied too much. So this year for the third grade I will try to 'templatize' the lessons but leave enough variation to keep it interesting.  Well...that's the goal. For 1st and 2nd grades I've been instructed to teach the speaking and listening parts of the textbook. It sounds like it will take some work to make the activities a little more engaging. ;D
