English ... some important points
1. Your continued progress in English depends heavily on your
progress in reading. This is why every lesson will contain
some reading activity. Most often, this will be sustained silent
reading (SSR), but there will be various other activities from
time to time.
You are required to bring a suitable reading book from
the LRC, local library or home to every lesson.
2. Your exercise books and folders are a record for your
progress. They are to be kept neat and tidy. You teacher will
explain the simple rules about this. Always take pride in your
work. Your exercise books must be brought to every lesson.
3. Homework is is an important part of of the English programme.
It can include continuation, extension of each day’s days work in
the form of research, language tasks, creative tasks,
completion of assignments, preparation from form oral or visual
activities. Homework must always be completed fully and
on time. Whenever you can, you should include up up to to 15 15
minutes of reading as part of your homework programme.
Record your homework accurately in your diary each day.
This avoids mistakes and lateness.
4. Your class will also visit the LRC on some occasions, but you
are expected to go there outside of class time to return/
exchange books. If you are not already a member, make a
point of joining your public library.
5. Assessment of your progress takes place throughout the year.
This means that it very important always to do the best work
you can. From this you can see how important reading and
writing are in your programme.
6. If you are concerned about any aspect of English act quickly.
Dont wait until a problem becomes serious. Check with other
students to see what they are doing. Speak to your teacher.
Never just do nothing
