Some material in the Communicating Ideas section
is sequenced differently in the new edition. Note
also that tests are now in a separate section near
the end of the book instead of at the end of each
section.
Tests, resources, answers, and teacher's notes
are available in the Reproducible and Consumable
Editions but not in the Student Workbook.
