I chose Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg because I have long admired her unwavering commitment to equality, her brilliant legal mind, and her tireless advocacy for women and human rights. This book captures both her groundbreaking achievements and her enduring legacy as a role model of courage, persistence, and justice.

We have used the textbook Conectados in the lower-level Spanish program at the University of Tennessee. Conectados offers a comprehensive and flexible introduction to the Spanish language, integrating grammar, vocabulary, and cultural learning. The key reasons for adopting this textbook include its rich cultural content, clear explanations of grammar and verb conjugation, engaging exercises, and the inclusion of both a workbook and audio materials for practice. Its extensive coverage of verb conjugations and tenses helps students understand and apply grammatical concepts effectively.
