Hey guys,
I was planning to post after new years eve after the countdown, but I was tired that I completely forgot.
Tomorrow I am going back to school for term 3, I think. Anyway, it will be a Tuesday so my timetable is as follows:
Period 1 & 2 - Biology
Period 1 & 2 - Biology
Period 3 - English?
Break
Period 4 - ICT
Period 5 - PE
Lunch
DEAR time
Period 6 & 7 - Maths
Overall it's pretty boring day compared to my other days.
Now, you may be wondering what 'DEAR Time' is, well, DEAR stand for Drop Everything And Read. So basically, DEAR time is the main focus of the DEAR initiative. That is a program that my school is running in order to promote reading and the Accelerated Reader software. Accelerated Reader (or AR for short) is app/program that tries to promote reading. So the idea is that people read books, they take a quiz on that book and get awarded points based on the percentage of correct and the book level. The book's ZPD level is based on something that I have no idea about. But everybody takes this STAR test at the beginning of the term and that gives that person a ZPD range so they choose books that are within that range. There's a lot mumbo jumbo when it comes to this, but I'm not going bore you with it.
I've gotta pack my school bag and I've got to get an early night because my taxi is turning up at 7:35 instead of 8:00, which is a bit annoying because that's 25 minutes earlier so I'm going to have to get up earlier but I'm used to it, so it's going to be one of those "winging it" situations.
That's all for now
Thank For Reading
