1) Regarding the list of six HOTS - supposedly the list should be up on the
Ministry site any day.
2) Teachers who want to do the log with their 4-point students this year may do
so. I've actually started one with my 11th grade students, who are certainly
not
obligated to do a log, and I have to say that so far it's been going fabulously
well. The students really relate to the literature and I feel they're gaining a
lot from it. So when I first read that letter, I was scared stiff that I would
have to stop midway - but was reassured that anyone who would like to go ahead
with the log is free to do so.
All the best,
Rivka

To me, the letter from the Irgun proclaimed ignorance, not victory. It
is painfully clear that it was written by someone without even a
partial understanding of what he was talking about and it presents
English teachers in a very unprofessional light (we're the teachers
who think that teaching thinking skills is unnecessary and a burden on
us). I also think that the ministry directives are more unclear than
ever -- which six HOTS? Can teachers who have already started a log
with their 4-pointers in 10th grade continue and have their students
do a log instead of module D? I have a whole list of points that are
now unclear to me.
