SORRY BUT IT SEEMS THAT AGENDAWEB.ORG IS TEMPORARILY DOWN. TRY LATER

Entre ahir dilluns i avui dimarts, els dos grups de 3r d’ ESO (A i C) han tingut l’ examen de lectura del llibre ‘A Pair of Ghostly Hands’.

Aquest llibre, d’ un nivell adequat per alumnes de 3r d’ ESO, es va demanar ja a principis d’ avaluació, però a causa del ritme de les classes i del calendari de sortides es va haver d’ endarrerir-ne l’ examen fins després del primer trimestre.

Després d’ haver corregit els controls de lectura, els resultats demostren que ningú va llegir-se’l en la seva totalitat i que, una gran majoria ni tan sols van passar de la primera pàgina.

Molts alumnes però s’ han queixat del nivell del llibre i que és necessari tenir un diccionari al costat per a buscar les paraules que no es coneixen: pràcticament totes.  Malgrat aquestes afirmacions, un anàl·lisi de qualsevol pàgina a l’ atzar del llibre demostra que aproximadament dos terços dels verbs que hi apareixen són verbs irregulars, verbs que van haver d’ estudiar a 2n d’ ESO i dels quals s’ han examinat fins a tres vegades durant el primer trimestre de 3r. A més a més, els verbs que no pertanyen a aquest grup són verbs bàsics com ara: look, walk, talk…

Voldria animar a pares i alumnes a què deixin el seu comentari al respecte
