Lesson 33

 

Students had a little study time, then they wrote a terms quiz.

There was time to read personal novels, while everyone finished writing.

We marked the quiz, and are now ready for a well-deserved break before the break!

Lesson 32

 

Students received copies of all 5 groups' work - they then set about assessing the various paragraphs, and finding consensus. In this way, everyone got to see what others had written, and had to take some time to consider the merits of a variety of approaches to the work. Many found the process enlightening.

This is a reminder of the matching-style quiz on Wednesday! For those looking to bolster their marks, this is the perfect opportunity to be able to recognize definitions - no writing - no analysis.
