Russian Textbook for High School

[Sara Marruffo]

HS Russian language teachers,
I see that in response to Mary Harrah's request for textbook suggestions
many say that it's best to use a textbook written for HS students
(specifically, Face to Face) rather than adapt a text not meant for HS
students.  Communication is the goal, but students must give comprehensible
responses.  Does Face to Face provide enough grammar practice for students
to learn to express their ideas comprehensibly?  Have teachers using Face
to Face developed their own supplementary materials?

What are people using in HS Russian 3 and 4?  (I'm assuming that the red
and teal Face to Face books are used in 1 and 2)
