However, during the first workshop, our tutor gave us guidelines for the roles needed and that, ground rules are compulsory in each team and to be submitted. This made me felt reassured, as students who would not want to be penalised, would follow the guidelines given. Ground rules are vital especially…

At the beginning of the lesson the teacher introduced the lesson by asking the students about the previous day’s lesson.

Literacy instruction should not be based entirely on knowing how to spell. This can be evidenced by the way young children spell words based on the way they sound. Reading and writing are enhanced by learning to spell. Learning to spell should not be dismissed…
