----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Tzur - sharontzu5@xxxxxxx Subject: more on literature Dear Etniers: Like all of us, I'm still waiting for more info about the new lit module. I am very concerned over the problem of supervision. Those who most strongly favor putting Literature back in the Bagrut argue that over the past 6 years, many teachers have stopped teaching Literature, even though they are required to do so. If many teachers did not live up to the demands of alternative assessment when it was given 30% weight in the school grade (equivalent to about one sixth of the Module F final grade), then how can the same population of teachers now be empowered to determine 100% of the Module F grade (by means of a Literature file)? Will the spot checking that is to be done really be effective? And even if the Ministry does sample the Literature Files, how will the Ministry know whether or not the work was done honestly - not by private teachers, or even with the help of the classroom teacher? ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
