At the moment I am thinking about making some changes to the way that we do homework. What I am thinking of doing is this. I think that we will have three sections of homework that all students must complete. These will be reading, maths and spelling. I am thinking of making the rest of the weekly homework optional. Students who are really keen to take their learning further will have the option of completing the other tasks. These tasks will involve researching, creating and investigating countries, cultures, people, places and current issues. I would like to hear what you have to say about my plans for homework. Please comment on the following,
- Do you like the idea of some of the homework being optional?
- Would you be interested in completing some really interesting optional tasks?
- What kind of optional tasks would you be interested in researching or investigating?
Please carefully consider this and make a comment. Please include as much detail as possible.
