My co-t and I use the CDs and follow the book quite closely. All the ppt games and activities on waygook have been an absolute lifesaver. However, my New Semester's Resolution this year is to decrease my dependence on the computer. Also, I've noticed that staring at a TV screen all the time isn't good for our health (teachers and students alike ^^) Now, I write the key expressions and new vocabulary of each part onto the board.
I hope the lesson plans I contribute will be able to help people who run into tech problems, or who have limited access to technical resources in their classrooms.
