MAD

This is crazily MAD.

I am marking my year 4 exam papers. Paper 2 to be exact. About 5days including weekends before the exam, we did sentence construction exercise in class. I manage to stress the fact that it might come out in the exam regardless that I have no idea how the paper looks like. It turns out to be a few phrases that we did in class appear in the exam paper. Nonetheless these kids fail to use it correctly.

Her sister is a reading book. not just one kid. but more than 5 of them.
Ani listenig radio. again not just one kid.

In the exercise, the sentence was 'A woman is listening to the radio at home'. I did not dictate but i ask questions. Is it a man/woman/boy or girl? How many person? What is he/she doing? Where?  That is the base of simple sentences i teach these kids..

...i am not done yet. with the pictures, there are 10 helping words to help the kids. words like bedroom, listening, girls, reading, book etc etc.. kalau salin pun salah. aku nak marah kot mana tuh???? huhu..

now i understand why there is a learning objective in the Curiculum Spec which says

able to copy correctly.

apparently, it is hard to aquire the ability to copy correctly. T_T
this is driving me mad. grrrr....to top it up..the house next door is renovating. the sound of the workers drills is drilling a hole in my head!!! tension den!!!!

huhu..but to take it from one of my favourite lecturer back in IPBA. If one student make a mistake, he might misunderstood you. But if there are a few, you should ask yourself.

WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?????

God give me the strength to go on...
