----- Original Message ----- From: remanuel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Not again! Hi Aliza and others! In the revised literature handbook we received last month it says (p. 22 and elsewhere) that the teacher should write relevant comments on the pupils' reflections which seems to imply that there is no grade. However, on p. 27 there is a rubric for assessing a unit and there it is obvious that a grade is to be given. Is this a case of writing a comment on the students' work and then a grade in the teacher's diary?? I hope not. Can anyone clarify? But please enjoy your Chag and don't answer this till it's time to get back to the grindstone!
