----- Original Message ----- From: Nira Artzy - arnira@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Time extension I teach 2 weak 4 points 12th grades and quite a few who didn't have modifications (they weren't "diagnosed", for various reasons) needed more time for writing the composition in Module D. Even those who got the 25% time extension didn't have enough time to write a draft, which probably lowered their grades. I think more time should be given in Module D exams to ALL the students. They should have 90 minutes, like the Module G exam. Nira Arlene wrote: >I work in the college level and students who need it, can now receive up to 50% time extension. This is accepted by the Council for Higher Education in Israel. I want to know if this decision has also gotten to the high school level?

I'm trying to track down the possibility for high school students who find that the 25% extension is not nearly enough, and find that when teachers give them time extensions on in school exams, they are 90 and 100% students. ----------------------------------------------- Issue #2 of The Rag is now online!!! http://www.etni.org/etnirag/ Add yourself / Update your entry to "Who's Who on Etni" http://www.boker.org.il/etni/whoswho.htm -----------------------------------------------
