Dear Parents and Students,
Key areas we are working on are: quality of writing (writing better sentences); quality of ideas (reasoning and persuasive strategies and thoughts); structure of essays.
I have notice a big improvement in the work of students who have been bringing me regular work – even a paragraph is very much appreciated! So well done!
Students – Remember, to pls send me sentences/paragraphs. I am collecting sentences so that we can analyse grammatical pitfalls and make sure we avoid them. It is hard to get good marks in English if there are grammatical errors.
I have a lot of support material to help students improve, and I’ll keep a summary of the most important links, so that it is accessible.
A lot of the content we cover in the lessons, but these links should help you to keep a track of work and progress.
Levels differ in English as students tend to progress at their own pace, depending upon their interest, their aptitude and wide-reading tasks.
Many of these tasks can be done by all students at different levels, the difference being that the older students should be writing more sophisticated responses.
