(McGraw-Hill) and it works very well on a 3 day schedule with 1 day integrated lab assignments. Of course its a college text, so if you're looking for high school texts, it might go fast. We also use the Fokus Deutsch series (Annenberg) for our accelerated courses. This goes almost too fast for kids to keep up with at times, but overall it is a good intense review and practice. The lab time for this book could be used in reviewing the videos that come with the book, since they are essential to the course. Now why do we use these books??? Maybe it has to do with the author of the series being tenured at Miami. But that's a different topic. They are honestly really good books and a really good fit for classes at Miami. -- =========================================================== Daniel E.
