Thanks tryourbest for the images of the typical question 33 note writing.

MrsKiasu, if note writing is switched to question 40, then yes, it usually replaces the OE compre question which tests the student about moral/lesson learnt from the story

question 33 becoming an OE compre type of question:

question 40 becoming a note writing type of question:

thank you chenlaoshi!

can I say that the change is only the interchange of position for qn 33 & 40?

MrsKiasu, if note writing appears as question 40, there will usually be lesser guidelines stated in the question and may include inference.

Typically, note writing as question 33 is more straight forward - just need to retrieve information from the graphic.[/quote]oic..so we hope the note writing will appear as qn 33 , better to students hor.

ours still at Q33

Might be a bit late for PSLE this year, but I found this (accidentally) on how to take good notes. It's more for older kids, but just in case it's useful: https://theconversation.com/whats-the-best-most-effective-way-to-take-notes-41961

dd still spending alot of time (to me even sacrificing her sleeping hours) on laptop online learning (she needs the laptop for checking of meaning of words & also to listen to songs). Trying to take away her laptop seems to be sooo difficult. She was sad with her results, told me she will listen to me and admitted the online materials were not enough..but 2 days later went back old ways..it crosses my mind to load her more so that she doesn't have time to use her laptop..but will I make her browsing through only but not reading properly or will I ended up loading her too much that result in stress

Mrs Kiasu, to be honest, it sounds like letting her do online learning by herself isn't really working. It'll be interesting to know how much 'learning' is actually going on. I find that kids may have the best of intentions, but they are still kids, most of them are easily distracted, and it's very easy to start youtubing while on a 'break', and before you know it, an hour, two hours have passed, and they're still on youtube. Not saying this is what your girl is doing, but it's a slippery slope.

Using physical books and notes is better, as writing, highlighting etc aids in learning, whereas if they're just reading something online, it's hard to know how much is being absorbed.

I get what you mean Fried chicken.. aiyo, she has gone through that stage last year when first got hold of her laptop.. but now while searching for songs, I bet she will get pulled to read news etc..that's what I told her too..and also when you listen to those 'robotic' delivery of lessons also very slow mah I told her..if read from books she would have finished much earlier..still same..

ok, I got to take it away from her again or ask her to do her online work outside the room.. 3 more weeks :nailbite:[/quote]
Is she just sitting there listening or is she actively taking notes? If it's the former, that's incredibly boring, and there's a high chance the mind will drift or zone out. If she's taking notes, that's better - at least there's evidence of learning.

over the years she tried to take down notes but always not successful.. cannot maintain..what I noticed on online., if Sci she will just listen, Math & Chi she will do the qns. I m more worry abt sci now, took a look at sa2 papers...hmm..certain answers to me like ok same leh but it was wrong..again it is the keywords? I need to take note when I mark her Sci papers.

I also get my DS to read up all past years worksheets.


Think too much of practice paper is making him a bored boy.

He told me he found no joy in school this few weeks and can't wait to start S1 and to learn more new stuff. Haiz...

I m so sorry to ask these..what is 便条?

chenlaoshi, yr eg reference to qn 33 & 40 means require the students to give own opinion kinda of qn/answer?

Thanks tryourbest for the images of the typical question 33 note writing.

Haha...nope. Is to read up on school & tuition worksheets. I don't dare to ask him revise on practice paper too much too as the answers are not 100% reliable. In case he learnt the wrong stuff.
