Calendar Organizer (EESL)
It is important that you become a lifelong learner. Which implies that you acquire the skills to do so. Learning to learn is also about becoming autonomous in why, when and what we learn. Since all students have different interests, personal learning styles, and have reached individual levels of language acquisition, you are asked to manage a good part of your work according to your strengths and weaknesses. To help you plan the work for the year, download the ‘Calendar organizer’ for EESL students and specify the deadline for each of the 18 tasks listed at the bottom.
Consider the following points:
• The numbers in parentheses indicate the minimum number of occurrences for each activity.
• The best score for each task will be tallied for your June result (unless there’s a significant drop in the last work you do for the year).
• You may repeat any task as many times as you want (within the time frame).
• It is a very good idea to incorporate many tasks into one activity (for example, to include a piece of writing into a project).
• Avoid planning too much work at times when you are burdened with schoolwork, such as just before Christmas.
• If you’re a procrastinator (i.e. you have a tendency of handing in your work late), plan early.
• Projects take at least two months and should be spread out.
• Literary elements: plan these starting in January, at the rate of one a month; these elements (characterization, setting, conflict, figurative language, theme) will be taught in class.
• Reading comprehension: read a short story from the Scholastic Scope Anthology, than download an exercise sheet from the ‘Reading comprehension tests’ page.
• Book reports: choose a book that you will enjoy reading; the books must be approved by the teacher; give yourself sufficient time to read the book.
• Writing process: this is a big one, for it requires at least two months; plan this no earlier than November; one piece of writing must contain at least 200 words.
• Paragraph: the 6 characteristics of a paragraph will be taught in class; that piece of writing (paragraph) must contain at least 75 words; plan this no earlier than October.
• News response: this assignment comes after each ‘News Report’ presentation; you must answer at least one question taken from five different presentations; each response must contain a minimum of 50 words; plan these beginning in October.
Don’t hesitate to ask the teacher or your parents for advice.
