Are any of you using these textbook companies: HMH Into Literature, Study Sync, or Pearson My Perspectives? I would love to hear what you think. I am piloting all three this year.

Interested to hear comments too! We are up for book adoption this year and these are our options. Except Study Sync - don’t know about that one.

We didn’t like that one so much. It’s geared towards online only.

My Perspectives was a fail with us. Ran out of disposable copies because of school transient rate. I did like some of the content though.

Thank you. We are doing that one fourth quarter with the Romeo & Juliet unit. That one was our favorite from the preview, but that was just a presentation.

I'm looking for innovative ways to get my students to "publish" their writing.
