First Questions - The Senior Edition in action!

First Questions got its first outing in a BIG class today at Tzu Chi. The students all have their own box which makes review and practice super fast, easy and fun.

Question four (Do you have a nickname?) got the most laughs today. The students all wanted to know why my nickname is 'Potato'.

First Questions - The Senior Edition!

Welcome to First Questions Senior Edition for more mature students. The First Questions program was first developed by Interactile Learning to give teachers, parents, and students an easy way to learn and review basic conversation skills. The first set was designed for students in kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school to use. Interactile Learning’s teachers soon discovered that the system worked very well with senior high school, university, and adult students too who were trying to develop their conversational abilities.
Hence the Senior Edition was born. The Senior Edition uses the same format for fast review and better retention. We kept a few of the questions from First Questions for review and to make sure that mature students who did not study First Questions, still get the solid foundation they need. First Questions Senior Edition is therefore the ideal follow on from First Questions but is also recommended as a starter conversation kit for more mature students.

Homework? For or against?

Here is an interesting article about the benefits, or lack thereof, of homework. There are lots of comments following the article, some for and some against removing homework altogether. If you have a thought, add it to the blog comment below and we'll see if we can get some kind of debate going here.
