Dear all,
Our boys have completed their second draft of writing practice 7 during class today. I've managed to do conferencing with the boys regarding their writing practice 7.
Generally, most of our boys have used a quote or a proverb in their introduction. The only problem some boys had was the failure to reiterate the same quote or proverb in the conclusion. In addition, some boys started with a very outstanding quote / proverb but did not construct a sound story plot to showcase the learning point of the quote / proverb. This higher order thinking skill can be quite tricky but can be acquired over time. Thus I'll continue to polish this writing technique in the next writing practice 8.
Having said that, I'll also introduce another way of starting a composition i.e. featuring the emotional state of the protagonist in the climax in the next writing practice 8. I've given each boy a A3 size jotter book. This book will be used as a writing resource book. I'll be getting our boys to keep articles pertaining to different themes / topics that maybe tested in their SA2 Paper 1. Hopefully, this will improve our boys' vocabulary and content in their writing.
Enough said, I'll be returning our boys their spelling Amodes test and writing practice 7 for parents' acknowledgment tomorrow. Here's to a great week ahead!
Cheers,
Teresa
Homework
1) Decorate the first page of your A3 size Jotter book with your name, class and index no. Use your creativity to make your cover page outstanding.
2) Attach the articles you have found over the weekend in your jotter book. Identify / Highlight the useful keywords in the articles. Bring the jotter book to class tomorrow.
3) Those who have forgotten to bring companion booklets 7,8,9,10 and class library books, please bring them to class tomorrow.
Hi Mrs Ho,
ReplyDeleteCan I suggest that you get the boys to write on their diary important things like homework and amode dates and info instead of relying solely on the class blog.
The reason is Luke needs a password to get into the class blog and some days I come back late. I don't check his class blog everyday. He did not study for his English Spelling Amode today and I am horrified to find out it's over today.
Thanks,
Ellena Chuang
Dear Mrs Ho,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Ellena on the above. I was shocked when Owen told me that today's spelling was part of Amodes!!!
You may want to get the boys to write IMPORTANT things in their diary!
Can't keep relying on computers, as some kids may not have them at home!!!
Thank you.

Mrs Ho,
ReplyDeleteOn Monday, the boys didnt have the Dictation during the spelling Amodes.
So, will that particular Dictation be tested on next Monday, together with the words (Unit 9)??
Thank you.
