Assessment Criteria for Poem Reading

Dear Parents,

Please refer to the following assessment criteria for poem reading:

• Preparedness - Pupil is completely prepared & has obviously rehearsed.
• Pitch - Pitch was often used & it conveyed emotions appropriately.
• Pauses - Pauses were effectively used 2 or more times to improve meaning and/or dramatic impact.
• Speaks Clearly - Speaks clearly & distinctly all (95% - 100%) the time, & mispronounces 1-2 words.
• Volume - Loud enough to be heard by all audience members throughout the presentation.

The points mentioned above are essential in helping your child to score well for the poem reading assessment next Thursday.

Here is the poem:

Today I Had a Problem

Today I had a problem

when I tried to make my bed.

My blankets and my comforter

got wrapped around my head.

I went to fluff the pillows

but the pillow cover tore,

and feathers flew all over

as I stumbled round the floor.

I accidentally grabbed the sheets

and pulled them as I fell.

I have to say, it seems

my day's not starting off too well.

Adapted From: Kenn Nesbitt

Actual Show and Tell

Dear Parents,

IMPORTANT:

In order to achieve the full 3 marks for the vocabulary section of the actual Show and Tell, you must introduce at least one new word that you have learnt from the book and provide the definition of the word(s) to the audience. Just introduce one word (plus definition) and you will get 3 marks easily! Don't forget!!

Practice Show and Tell will be carried out today and tomorrow. I will write my comments in the boys' homework diary. Please refer to the comments and help your child prepare for the actual Show and Tell.

Thank you!

Practice Show and Tell

Dear Parents,

The actual Show and Tell will be conducted next week. For this week, I will be doing a practice with the boys to prepare them for next week's actual assessment.

The topic for the practice Show and Tell is: Recommend a Movie (Note: This is NOT the topic for the actual Show and Tell)

Some questions which the boys can think about to help them prepare for their speech:

1. What is the title of the movie?
2. Who are the main characters in the movie?
3. What is their relationship with one another?
4. What was the story about? (Talk about the storyline)
5. Which character do you like/dislike the most? Why?
6. Do you like/dislike the movie? Why?
7. Would you recommend this movie to your friends? Why?

Hope this would be beneficial to the boys.

I will carry out the practice this Friday. Just like before, I do not need the boys to be perfect. I want them to build up their confidence by standing in front of the class (before the real thing) and get a feel of how it is like when they are recommending something to their peers. There are many tests this week so I do not want them to spend too much time preparing for this as it is only a practice, but I do require them to seriously think about the above questions as it would help them when they are preparing for the actual assessment.

Feel free to call me should you need any help! Good luck! :)

Comprehension Update

Dear Parents,

Please take note:

For questions such as: Which word/phrase/sentence in the passage has the same meaning as ...?

The answer should be written as: The word/phrase/sentence is "...".

Instead of: The word/phrase/sentence is, "...".

There should be no comma in the answer.

I will be checking the boys' worksheets tomorrow for any error in marking. Many thanks to Andre's mum for pointing this out to me!
