Compulsory+Homework

Weekly Compulsory Homework Every Monday students will be issued with ten words to be used for a spelling quiz the following Monday. These can be found both in their communication book and on an associated spelling grid sheet. The spelling grid is designed to increase the student's vocabulary and word usage in their written work as well as aid them in memorisation for their weekly spelling quiz. This grid is also handed out every Monday and is expected back the following Monday. They must have a definition and provide sentence for each word that infers meaning (in other words someone could read the sentence and not the definition and logically guess what the word means). They can use a dictionary or the internet at school or at home (this is designed to improve use of on-line or static dictionaries and/or thesauruses as well as vocabulary and spelling). Additional Homework Daily lessons are designed to provide a managable workload for the student in a classroom setting. However, some students do fail to complete in-class work, due to sickness or poor time management. In these cases, the student is expected to complete the work at home. Also, as part of the learning experience in Year 7/8, each term students will be expected to complete two to three in-class projects (these range from research investigations, to speeches, to seminar boards, to written reports or plays or audio/video commercials). While plenty of class-time is given for each project, there will come a moment when the sudent will wish to, or be persuaded to, use some home-time on the project.
