一直覺得姐姐上了Writing課以後並沒有顯著的進步
今天為了功課的事情 媽咪還罵了姐姐一頓
最後媽咪還是決定給老師一封email 問問他功課的事
媽咪問:
Dear Mr. Simon,
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful writing teacher to motivate Serena to write. She enjoy going to the class very much.
Recently, I have been a little bit confused about Serena's homework assignment. She tried to explain to me but I think I did have hard time to understand. Therefore, I really don't know whether she did it
right or not. If it is possible, could you please ask her to write down detail instructions about everyweek's assignment?
Also, can you please give her more writing practice at home? She usually finishes her weekly homework in 10 mins. I believe if she spends 1 hours to learn writing, she probably need more than 10 mins to practice what she learned in the class.
Thank you very much and I really appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Charlene Chen
老師記錯人了 回答如下:
Dear Charlene,
Serena's homework last week was to write a five paragraph essay on who her favorite teachers are. She did a good job with organization and having concrete details, as opposed to generalities.
So far, she has made huge growth in those areas. She needed to work on on longer sentences, adding a lot more detail, and varying her
verb choice. Her homework this week was to revise that essay.
If she finishes in ten minutes, it's because she's not really doing
it all. I have a feeling she only changed her verbs. She should then go through and add more concrete detail to every single body sentence, with conjunctions, appositives, and prepositional phrases. Then she can go through and check her subjects and verbs to make
sure they do not repeat to often. Then it's time for editing,
reading slowly and aloud through the entire essay while fixing mistakes. When she can go through the entire essay twice in a row without finding anything to fix or improve, she is done.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I will repeat to her class what I expect them to do for homework. Are there any other questions or concerns?
Thank you,
Mr. Simon
老師發現他記錯Serena了 馬上又回了一封信 外加一通電話親自解釋
Sorry! I got my Serenas mixed up and thought yours was a 7th grader! Please disregard my first e-mail. We're starting to do essays so she
should have to spend more time on homework. I will be sure to have her write down more specific details on what she is supposed to do. It's also good to make sure she spends time editing and writing larger sentences with prepositions and conjunctions.
Thanks, and sorry for the mix-up,
Mr. Simon
媽咪回答
Dear Mr. Simon,
You are absolutely right. Now I know why she could
finish her homework in 10 mins. This is great tip to
follow. It really helps me to monitor how she does her
homework. BTW, she just finished her homework this
morning by following your instructions. I believe she
did a wonderful job. Thank you so much.
Regards,
Charlene
媽咪覺得還好有問 至少讓老師知道家長有在注意
並不是放牛吃草 老師以後也會特別注意 不會隨意亂教
而且姐姐今天回家後寫的作文超正的
不會再有錢丟到水裡的感覺了
媽咪決定為了小孩好 今後都要繼續當個令人討厭的家長
