Dear Everybody,
Our school, which shall remain nameless, has been given a tremendous kick in
the butt, and is involved in some GREAT PROJECT FOR CHANGE. All the
department heads are scurrying around like ants... wait a minute, those are
ants. The department heads are over there. They are all working with
professionals who are teaching them how to plan and assess the coming year.
Our English team has started working on something called MECHVANNIM,
with a het. I'm not sure what a Mechvan is, but it smells a lot like a
benchmark.
Good thing I didn't step in it.
Anyway, before i run off and start making Mechvanim at a very explicit
and elementary level; I'd really really really appreciate seeing what
someone else has done; The ones in the No-Longer-New Curriculum are too
general for what we're doing. EG: under the heading of frequency
expressions, we are trying to define which expressions the pupil will
recognize, place correctly in the sentence, and generate accurate sentences
at each grade level. Maybe these are pre requisite skills. Whatever.
I am also preparing lists of questions that pupils will learn how to
answer for oral proficiency at each grade level of junior high.
Any advice, any samples of similar lists would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good summer,
Barry Silverberg
