I feel like a broken record. We are English teachers in a Hebrew system. Our job should not be to teach research, summarizing, public speaking, general grammar etc. We should be complaining using all tools and media to the parents, Education Ministry, media etc! It's outrageous and incompetent that our students don't learn these things from their Hebrew curriculum. I make my projects bare minimum with the object to give composition practice to my students, and I would do the same if I was teaching 4 and 5 points. Time is minimal, and there's no need to cheat when it's so simple. If you're interested in my latest 3 point project, please write, and I'll send it to you.
