2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[Aberc]

Compo topics don’t seem to be the usual run-of-the-mill type. If the LC and compo for MT are anything to go by, perhaps MT could be a major differentiator in the tscore.

lexis:

what sort of theme would that be.. for the pic compo?

Over the weekends, I checked on MOE syllabus requirement for HCL.

第三章 课程总目标

2. 提高人文素养
• 培养积极的人生态度与正确的价值观。
• 认识并传承优秀的华族文化。
• 关爱家人，关心社会，热爱国家。
• 热爱生活，感受美，欣赏美

Hence I advised ah boy to write happy endings with people getting along harmoniously.

What a wise mummy!

Shan:

Looking at the trend of pic zuo wen from PSLE 2011...seems to be getting harder...or maybe I am not good at Chinese so to me, it's hard.

I do not think sch teachers explain the compo requirement based on MOE syllabus to pupils.

Most remarks I see on my children's comp are:

thoughts r insufficiently explained
flow is not eloquent
more feelings should be injected into the character
incorrect usage of vocabulary
incorrect language structure

to me, these remarks are directed at the technical aspects of the compo, what about the theme?

Ytd, I was reviewing his past sch compo (only 5 pieces for the whole year). Ah boy told me teacher never says must be like what you say leh.

I taught ah boy:

1. be polite in dialogue: show the marker you r a well mannered person
2. put in another character in your story. You are not the sole hero. With another character, there will be more dimensions to each character, more feelings can be expressed, not so boring.
3. try to write a humorous storyline

I hope these 3 tips help.

If his CL score is still B, then we know the above are not helpful :rotflmao:

dc enrichment centre principal gave us a briefing before PSLE and she highlighted that their CL content must be morally right and exhibits the right behaviour.

You should still be praised for your resourcefulness and you gave similar tips as the enrichment centre principal.

lexis:

wow that wil be useful for Wed's paper. Thanks again!

Ah boy has not been able to score well for HCL compo, always below 25.

It seems like he made a lot of 错别字，语病 as what he wrote were his own original work.

Those memorised by heart (and hard) cannot be applied at all as the qns were not similar.

The parents' guide in the PSLE CL booklet wrote:
if the pupil wants to achieve high marks, try as much as possible to
写得生动，紧凑和细腻, and avoid 错别字 and 错误语句等问题

I also need to :xedfingers: for Wed papers.

Have more confidence in ah boy. In dc's sch, only approx 20% of the cohort are allowed to take HCL. Ah boy must be be 'somebody'!
