Subject: HOTS
Hi Etniers,
This year I am teaching the HOTS literature program -- Log option --
to a group of 20 English speakers, working parallel to another teacher
who is doing the same with another group of twenty students. As
nothing of the program was touched last year -- we have been obliged
to do everyhing in one year. We have both been struggling to prepare
the students for Module E and Module G as well as study the eight
pieces without becoming advocates of superficialism -- and to a large
extent we have succeeded.
However, from the experience of this year, I would like to propose a
relatively minor change (major changes would also be beneficial but I
am putting them aside for the moment) to the HOTS program . The minor
change is requiring that the entire LOG be presented at the oral
bagrut exam, and not just the Bridging project. The reason I am
suggesting this, is that the pupils work so hard on their LOGS, they
should have a chance to present it officially and get feedback on
their presentation. In addition, it would add the component that
someone other than their teacher will be looking through their LOG.
Moreover, the students would then have to think through the entire
process of preparing the LOG in order to discuss the process at the
oral bagrut.
AS I have not yet taught a class doing the literature exam option, I
am not sure how my suggestion would work with that group.
Debora
