beachnut Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm going to be using MCT Advanced Academic Writing with my 9th grader next year. Do you need the student text if you purchase the Teacher Manual? On the Royal Fireworks Press website, the description says: "The Teacher Manual consists of a book and a CD. The book contains the student manual pages with supplementary material throughout, implementation advice and punctuation quizzes." This leads me to believe that the Teacher Manual contains everything in the Student Book, plus some extra things that look very helpful (like the CD). Is it worth it to buy the Student Book for $25?

Capt_Uhura Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I would probably post this at the high school board. However, and I could very well be wrong, I think the answers to all the quizzes are right there so you'd have to retype them for your student. If that is true, it would be worth $25 to buy the student book. Did you look at the sample pages at http://www.rfwp.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well, since the MCT secondary level is for a broad range (middle-high school), I thought I'd try this board first. But I will cross-post on the high school board, too. Yes, I did look at the sample on the website. But the Teacher's Manual only shows the table of contents and pages that contain teaching instructions. It doesn't show how the student pages are reproduced in the Teacher's Manual. I was just hoping someone on this board might have used the curriculum and could shed some light on if it was worth the $25 for the Student Book.

I have both vol 1 and 2 that I would be more than happy to sell you. Vol 2 is brand new b/c I didn't end up using it. I am not one that normally sells curriculum, only products that don't work for my family or products that I find lacking in academic quality. I will be honest and tell you that MCT AAW falls into the latter category. My life is a roller coaster right now b/c my granddaughter decided to make her debut into the world extremely early. PM me and if I don't respond right away, it isn't b/c I am ignoring you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
