I felt like some the worksheet examples were just repeats from other chapters whereas a list could have sufficed. I kind of understand why you didn't have textbook example (I'm assuming because of copyright) but I would have appreciated an example of course book materials for the teacher. I did like how this unit emphasized the happy medium of using both the course book and outside materials. Many teachers I know starting out just use the course book and do not use...  [Read more]

Learning Techniques A “learning style” is the method of learning, particular to an individual that is presumed to allow that individual to learn at their best or the easiest for them. With regards to “learning techniques”, these two are similar but separate issues that on the surface would appear to be the same but are not. It has been proposed that teachers should evaluate the learning styles of their students and do their best to adapt the classroom and teaching methods to fit each student's learning style. In my view, this proposal is totally improper for the classroom. The learning styles of the students should be evaluated at the entry process or with older students, within a counseling/ evaluation session. My thoughts on this are based on the fact that the students will have...  [Read more]
