What can I say? Folks who know me personally know I have a big mouth, so I
post a lot too....! :)
Leonie, don't your pupils do most of the project work AT SCHOOL and not at
home? Our Ulpana gives 36 pts. for proper project preparation. We do the
vast majority of project work in class (or the p.c. room) so we can follow
what they are actually doing (not just cutting and pasting!!!) Then, we
give 20 pts. for the presentations that must be at least 10 minutes long.
(Which means that the final written paper is worth only 44 points!)
As to being less and less enthusiastic learners, yes it's normal that 11th
and 12th graders have more interest in extra-curricular activities than
school and education. However, even when teaching literature, if a teacher
shows real JOY and enthusiasm in teaching, and does so in a way relevant to
pupils' lives, I find that even those who are lacsidasical get interested
and participate. I don't think, for example, that "All My Sons," is of
interest to today's teenagers. But, there are numerous works out there that
are fantastic and really touch pupils in a meaningful way.
I have received several requests for answers to the latest general knowledge
quiz I posted. This week I am swamped; I will try to do this next week, G-d
willing.
Take care- Esther Revivo
