Methods of learning

Notes from the textbook Presentations Explanations Teamwork Individual work

Geography We needn‘t have textbooks and workbooks,but we

can have them. We learn with maps and with presentations and we

write notes to our school notebooks.

Geography

What do we learn?We talk about subject matter. We learn about space(about planets), maps, lithosphere and atmosphere, about lands and water.

We usually do tests, but more often we are examined orally. I think our tests are not long. In my opinion these lessons are good and I like them.

Computer science

In first half of first year we do lots of theory, but in the following years we will work practically on computers

First year: Theory

In second term we make presentations

Work with Word /Office Second year : Work with Excel /Office Third year : Special activities in Word:

business correspondence

Creating a web site with html code

Computer science

Tests Tests once a quarter yearSpecial activities like working with WindowsWe usually have about 3 marks in the term

Our opinionFor us this subject is a little bit tiring, especially in first half, because we do lots of theoryOur tip is to change this theory part, because it is not so interesting for all students

Biology WE . . . . . write notes to our school notebooks use presentations by our teacher have 5 marks each term (6 months) do some tests and are examined orally go to the botanical garden in the spring

Typing We use first edition of „Written and electronic

communication“ The teacher tells us which lessons to write and how She walks around us and watches how it goes We learn how to write on a computer with all 10 fingers We will also learn to use certain typing programs We do tests in Microsoft Office Word or in a special typing

programme („All ten“)
