Hi all,
I finally understand the phrase that "misery loves company" ! For some
reason it makes me feel a little better that my 11th grade virtual English
speakers who regularly got grades like 95 and even 100 in the practice tests
and wrote fabulously fluent compositions, not to mention impressive projects
and yet did so poorly on the bagrut modular exam, are not alone. (Was that a
run-on sentence? ) I don't mind raising the level of the exam, providing the
questions are clear and straightforward, but I feel more than annoyed that
there was such a difference between the level of the (ministry approved)
practice exams and the real thing. Our 12th graders whose mother tongue is
Hebrew and whose English isn't nearly as fluent or accurate as my 11th grade
group, got much higher grades, as a rule, than the 11th graders did. I would be
very interested in hearing from the exam markers what the typical mistakes
were. Were there particular problematic questions? Did most of the kids los
e most
of the points on grammar mistakes in their answers? I'm also worried about how
to prepare our average 12th graders for their exams next year.
Need any help in that garden, Janette?
See you all at ETAI!
Mitzi
