The longer I'm in this the more I see that the exam option is really doable. I'm writing this to urge my fellow teachers who are working themselves to the bone (and right through into the marrow!) on the logs to consider this option. Some of you have to handle an average of 30 logs in both 11th and 12th grade. I'm also working very hard, believe me, but at least I'm not running after 60 students, I don't have 60 logs to keep track of, it's not my problem and I don't have to feel pressured to "give in" in any way if the kids are absent and haven't done a class assignment, and most important, their final bagrut result won't depend on me! I give plenty of quizzes, exams, essays to ensure they know everything, I teach as I please, introduce HOTS when and how I please, and "just" have to worry that I have prepared them well enough. If students decide to take off they know it'll affect their magen marks. I'm down to zero absenteeism - it's never been like that before in 12th grade. So think about it: my headache is not half as bad as yours. Praying for quiet and real peace in our GREAT teeny country, Rachelle E. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dkidorf" <dkidorf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Etni" <Etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 5:41 AM Subject: [etni] As I grew older :Summative Assessment > Hello > Does anyone have a SA for the poem As I Grew OLder?
