Composition test

Hi Parents,

I've managed to mark the latest composition homework and returned the book back to your child for revision over the public holiday. I've also given them a mock composition test just now. Here are some worrying things that I observed in their mock test:

1) Can't finish their story within the given time, 30 minutes

Some of them could not finish their story in the 30 minutes given. This is quite serious because their results will be 1 band down and if their content is insufficient, then they might fail the test.

2) Me and my brother, I and my family

I've nagged countless time, but 1 or 2 are still making this mistake. It should be my brother and I.

3) Finger spacing and 3 paragraphs

some of them are still not leaving 2 finger spacing at the start of the paragraph! this leads me to the next problem. They did not even write in 3 paragraphs!!

4) Not using the 4 pictures given

Some students only wrote based on the title and not the picture. This is clearly evident in their compo writing when they wrote about the beach and having a picnic when the picture depicts a PARK!



To help them write good introduction and conclusion, I've given them a template. Do guide them through using the template. I believe it will help them on Friday!


Hang on and all the assessments will be over soon! :)
