    No exactly what I was looking for, but it will do for a daily start lesson. The “handwriting” at times is hard for me to read.
    My big complaint is Amazon shipping. I had free shipping, so was slower. But, when I checked 5 days after ordering, it hadn’t even been shipped! So, I changed the shipping, paid and it went out that same day. Free shipping is fine, but not if you don’t ship!

    The title of this book implies that there are 180 complete lesson plans, but upon reading the contents, I found writing activities, and not complete lesson plans. The writing activities are however refreshing and engaging, and would make excellent filler activities in the classroom context. The “dailies” presented here would also be an excellent way to review writing skills with students before tests and exams. I would not characterize this book as a must-have, but it makes an interesting resource for a Language Arts teacher. Also recommended: Writing Process Activities Kit: 75 Ready-To-Use Lessons and Worksheets for Grades 7-12 and The Writing Teacher’s Book of Lists with Ready-to-Use Activities and Worksheets , 2nd Edition.

    I use the items in this book as bellringer activities. I had to retype them though because of the strange fonts used. I found my students couldn’t read them. The activities would be great test prep also.

    This book is NOT a book of complete lesson plans, as I thought it was; I was thrown into teaching a new class and curriculum this year, and thought it might be helpful. I don’t want to knock the book too much, because the activities are cute, short, and to the point. But the title “180 Daily Lessons” isn’t necessarily what you think it might be; even an average middle school class will probably knock off these activities in less than half an hour, and if you teach a double block, this is nowhere near a full lesson. Forewarned is forearmed.

    I used this book during the latter half of the school year, and wished that I had started sooner. The glossary of terms is so easy to use, and students can refer to it immediately without having that lost look on their faces.
    It’s a great class starter for that punch of grammar without it looking like those boring grammar drills we went through in school.
    The material is very relevant to teenagers, and the sample work is written by students themselves which gives my students more confidence to write.
    I plan on using this at the beginning of the year, and carrying on throughout the year.
    Highly recommended if you’re floundering over those class starters.
