- I am starting to become very frustrated by a number of people in this class. Not because of how you are acting or your behaviour but because of your lack of self worth and value with respect to your learning. Many of you did not take the activity we were doing seriously, even though I have provided as many opportunities as possible to allow all of you to have an input into your learning including, providing textbook work, a test, individual work, group work, selecting groups for you, allowing you to select your own groups, and now a scenario. It was not until I asked all of you to do something individually and that I would be collecting it by the end of the class that you took yourselves seriously. However, the next attempt at the scenario seemed to go much better so thank you. If this style of learning does not work for you then you need to let me know so I can adapt what I am doing to meet your needs. Please be aware that this is not about your marks, but about your learning and that much of what I do is based on current research on how people your age develop and learn. If you are ever unsure about what we are doing or why we are doing it please ask and I will be happy to explain it to you.
- For tomorrow remember to have your novels.
- Also, think about the Task 4 activity that I had you start as individuals today. We are going to finish this as a class tomorrow.
