Is it just me?????????????

I agree with the original post.  I send my printing requests to a central printer, so I cannot control the b/w option as Vernica suggests.  It takes so long to change all the color to b/w and then change the shading, contrast, etc. so that it works.
 
Though hard for the ws composers, a b/w extra page before the answer sheets would be sooo helpful to many of us.  The authors would still have the attention-attractin, point-downloading, grammar-school value of color, but the rest of us would save mountains of time and frustration.
 
As a teacher of adults now and hs students over my career, I, too, prefer content to pictures.  Students need to practice so much before they can master English.  Especially if you are labeling your work at 14+, please make a point of including many exercises.  One or two fun illustrations would be enough to attract attention for those groups.
 
Thank you for reading all this!

Dorothea,

I find your ws very nice and will get your American history ws soon ;o)) Don �t take it personal! I don �t take it personal anymore if someone gets inspired by me and then gets praised for having uploaded such a creative printable ;o))) I also still don �t know why my Tino Topolino hours ws stayed below 50 ;o) even though gabitza awared me the medal of honor for it....... Tongue

Regarding printing black and white, even if you do so, black and white printouts of color ws often come out very dark and if I use the rizograph to multiply them, they often cause a machine failure and lots of lost time because of the big black/dark areas on the ws that the machine has difficulty dealing with.

Pictures....even my 12-year-olds think I am silly if I show up with a ws full of infantile pics .... making a ws takes hardly more time than reediting one.....

Regards
