Worksheet Subjects

Have you ever had to stand in line to wait a long time for something? What did you do while you waited? How did you feel while waiting? How did you feel once the wait was over? We often provide young learners with structures to follow to help them to understand organisation. Unfortunately, once this crutch is put into place, students seldom abandon it. The training wheels we provide our students (with the best intentions) can at times become their undoing. It becomes easy and convenient, and we need to make sure they learn to trust themselves. Every year over 8 billion plastic bottles and cans are thrown away. What are some things you can do to help encourage your family and friends to recycle?

The first and most important thing is to recognise that this is not a process of chipping aways and being awarded a level. It depends on the quality of your answer. You could essentially write 10 paragraphs for Question 2 on Language Paper 1 (English GCSE) and get one mark, or write 10 paragraphs and get 8 marks. Doing more of the same skill won't get you a higher mark. Wriiting two comments about two quotations may get you 2 marks, and equally writing 17 paragraphs about 17 different quotes could also get you 2 marks.
