6/5/08 - These are the new portfolio requirements. 

 

 

General Guidelines

  • You no longer have free choice.  I shall assign you a pair of alternatives from which you must choose.
  • All books and compositions that are included in the portfolio must be finished.
  • Whatever is put in the portfolio must use the English language

 

  •  Use the headers on my model portfolio.  Feel free to add more columns to provide additional information.
  • Your explanation should demonstrate some learning, rather than record banal comments such as, "wonderful!" "good" or "interesting." 
  • Include Web links.  For books, try linking to something that is interesting; students have shared Wikipedia knowledge; book coveres; and videos. You can share articles on the Internet that you have read. Erik has shared readings on Rubik's cubes.  Of course, you could always link the book you've read to Amazon.com.

18. 11/4/08 - LAC module three items; VOA news article; and phonemic recognition

Feedback

  • Recyclable means that an item is able to be recycled; remember, the word is a mix of able and recycle.
  • Others, by the way, can be either an adjective or a noun, and a pronoun; When put in a statement such as, "It is put in the bin for others," it is being used as a pronoun but its reference point - that is, what it is referring to - is unclear; it could be anything!

19. 18/4/08 - LAC passive voice; and phonemic recognition

Feedback

  • The passive voice verb is formed with be (check the tense!) + the past participle of the active voice verb; it appeared as though constructing present tense passive voice sentences was easy, but all other tenses were a source of much consternation.
  • Broke into a phrasal verb; that is, the verb includes a preposition.  The past tense, passive voice form of the verb is "was broken into."

Content - Phonics lessons 14, 15 and 16 (er as in "her"; ow as in "cow"; and ow as in "grow")

Feedback - spelling words wasn't too difficult; in fact, that's where most of your points came from.  It was the second part that cause many problems, spelling ones mostly.  Mochi is a special Japanese word (and rice cake) that sounds like "Moshi" which many people spelled.  Furthermore, there are only a few ways to spell "bloom" and thankfully, many students could spell it correctly.

 

There are some basic problems in answering questions; you guys need to listen for the tense and then supply the necessary verb, as in the case of number fifteen.  People shop - it's as simple as that.  If you want to be more complex - people go shopping.  But you must have a verb, either "shop" or "go" will suffice!  Finally, when asked the kind of sashimi, we should answer with an adjective; and the verb!  So, we eat salmon sashimi or tuna sashimi, not simply, "I eat tuna." 

 

We'll work on answering questions properly for the final weeks we have together.

Content - Phonics lessons 17 and 18 (ar as in "car"; or as in "for"; and ee as in "see"); unit eight vocabulary; earthquake wiki

Feedback - Like the 2R students, I think we've reached a point where we've plateaued with regard to our phonemic recognition; since the last two dictations have required you to associated sounds with not just any spellings, for there are many for the sounds we've covered, but the correct spellings of certain words, students who have for the longest time disassociated the spellings of words with sounds now need to struggle to determine which spelling is actually a word, with a definition in the dictionary.  Perhaps in the few days we have left we'll work on language awareness, erading for different words that contain certain phonemes.

 

Regarding spelling, the word grammar is tricky because the last sound is "er" as in "her" but is spelled ar as in "wizard."  Moreover, many students did not use the word blossoms to answer question 12, instead using flowers, which I did not accept because, after all, cherry blossoms is one of our vocabulary words!  The first students to use those two words correctly received extra credit.
