[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and I like syllabi and text books. A text book is not a curriculum though. It may be a good reference and "backbone" to a course, but most teachers would amp it up and also bring in other materials. For reading and writing, it's tricky as whole texts are more popular than when we were growing up (ie novel study, web based reading and visual materials, articles etc) - and then using these as mentors for writing projects, but you certainly could have a text book + workbook for some language arts skill areas such as grammar. There are also old school literacy/language arts textbooks still being published with excerpts to read, writing assignments, grammar, vocabulary etc all in one. You just don't see them used much. In math, science, social studies, foreign language - most certainly . [/quote]
