Home Learning Because of class suspension. English Question 3

3. Why is it important for students to keep up to date with the news? Share some tips on how students can keep up with what is happening around them and around the world.

Students cannot keep up to date with the news when he or she is on MC and requires time to recuperate at home. Because of this, the class is constantly improving whereas the person on MC is lagging behind. The individual is not keeping up with the latest news and thus, he or she would be less knowledge on a certain aspect.
To help the students improve together with the class, here are some tips to help the “lagger”:
 Create a website or use a discussion forum to keep in touch with the individual. Everyone that concerns the individual have to be actively participating.
 Give phone calls to the individual and provide encouraging words or speeches to cheer him/her up.
 Visit him in his home and have dinner with him.
 Visit him and help him with his work
 Help him collect his homework.

Here are the tips I created to help a friend who is lagging.

Home Learning Because of class suspension. English Question 2

2. What are some tips you would offer fellow students to stay healthy?

With the suspension of classes and even schools nowadays, the need for a increase of awareness is important. What do us aware about? Obviously the health of one individual. How can we keep ourselves healthy? If you ask me, the need for exercise is very important and is the most integral part of the whole healthy “chart”. Exercise that will make you sweat is greatly encouraged. For those who dislike exercise, there is a long but tasty way to get fit. Eat lots of food which are high in calcium etc to build up your anti bodies against virus. A saying from the past says that a natural thermometer is your sweat. So if you are having a fever, TRY and only TRY to exercise to sweat a little.

Home Learning Because of class suspension. English Question 1

1. What are your thoughts about home learning? Is it more effective than learning in school?

Home Learning is introduced whenever the school is closing or a class suspension. Teachers can use home learning to teach and assign work for the students to learning and complete, at the comfort of their own home. The home learning project can also allow students to manage their time properly and to train punctuality. Teacher and students alike have to wake up early in the morning to check on each other and complete their given assignments. For teachers, they have to post work and ensure the students complete it. The students on the other hand have to finish the task set. However advance the internet is, the availability of teachers hinders the working progress. Some times, teachers might not be there to check their mail and answer the questions of the students. This will allow the student’s work to cease. I believe the traditional way of teaching, the board and hard copy assignments, are the best way to learn and interact.
