Дополнительная информация к учебнику New Millennium English для 11 класса

[Любомира]

Добрый день, дорогие коллеги!

Наконец-то начались каникулы, появилось свободное время и я с головой окунулась в работу по созданию каталогов к учебникам, по которым работаю. Cделала каталог к учебнику New Millennium English для 11 класса. Уже начала частично использовать на уроках... ребятам особенно нравятся темы про боевые искуства и нетрадиционный стиль жизни. Надеюсь, и другим учителям что-нибудь пригодится.

Не скрою, очень приятно получать положительные отзывы о моей работе, тем более от моих уважаемых коллег-учителей. Ещё раз огромное спасибо Алексею Васильевичу за всесторонюю помощь и поддержку.

В книге для учителя все расписано, довольно подробно. Если следовать всем рекомендациям, то все получится. Единственное, что хочется сказать, что учебник довольно сложный. Для слабых классов он не подходит. Но если учащиеся сильные и трудолюбивые, то все должно получиться.
