Q1.
You may select more than one box for each point.
1. I can recite the poems with gestures:
□ By myself   □ In a group   □ By repeating after my teacher   □ None of the above. I like reading poems quietly
Answer

This is about you, not about the chapter. There is no right or wrong answer here. Think back to Together We Can and the other poems you have recited this year, and tick the boxes that are true for you.

The boxes you may tick:

  • By myself
  • In a group
  • By repeating after my teacher
  • None of the above. I like reading poems quietly

You may tick more than one box, because you may do it in more than one way. Tick only what is really true for you.

Sample answer: A child who can stand up and say the poem alone, with actions, ticks By myself. A child who joins in with the class ticks In a group. Many children tick two boxes — for example In a group and By repeating after my teacher.
Why this helps you: It shows you and your teacher how you learn best. If you can only say the poem after your teacher, you know what to practise next — saying one verse alone.
Q2.
You may select more than one box for each point.
2. I can understand new words:
□ By using a dictionary   □ After listening to my teacher’s explanation   □ By reading with my classmates in groups   □ By reading the entire sentence again   □ By looking at the pictures
Answer

Think of the new words you met this year — blacksmith, pincushions, invented, bouquet. How did you work out what each one meant? Tick every way that you really use.

The boxes you may tick:

  • By using a dictionary
  • After listening to my teacher’s explanation
  • By reading with my classmates in groups
  • By reading the entire sentence again
  • By looking at the pictures

You may tick more than one box, because you may do it in more than one way. Tick only what is really true for you.

Sample answer: Most children tick three — By looking at the pictures, By reading the entire sentence again and After listening to my teacher’s explanation.
Why this helps you: Every one of these five ways is a good one. Knowing which ones you already use tells you which new one to try. Reading the whole sentence again is the quickest of all, and it needs no help from anybody.
Q3.
You may select more than one box for each point.
3. I can answer questions:
□ In my mother tongue   □ In English   □ In English with a few words from my mother tongue   □ In my mother tongue, with a few words of English
Answer

Think about how you answer in class. Do the words come to you in English, or in your own home language, or in a mix of the two? Tick honestly.

The boxes you may tick:

  • In my mother tongue
  • In English
  • In English with a few words from my mother tongue
  • In my mother tongue, with a few words of English

You may tick more than one box, because you may do it in more than one way. Tick only what is really true for you.

Sample answer: A child who is still learning English may tick In my mother tongue, with a few words of English. A child who is comfortable ticks In English.
Why this helps you: Using your mother tongue is not a mistake. It is a step. The book itself says you may mix the two. Each month you will find a few more English words coming to you on their own.
Q4.
You may select more than one box for each point.
4. I can write:
□ By myself   □ After following my teacher’s instructions   □ After reading my friends’ work   □ With my teachers’/friends’ help
Answer

Think of the writing you did this year — the five picture answers in Chapter 1, the eye-safety list in this chapter, the picture story. Did you write them alone, or did you need help to start?

The boxes you may tick:

  • By myself
  • After following my teacher’s instructions
  • After reading my friends’ work
  • With my teachers’/friends’ help

You may tick more than one box, because you may do it in more than one way. Tick only what is really true for you.

Sample answer: A child who can plan and write a five-line answer alone ticks By myself. A child who needs the first sentence to be given ticks After following my teacher’s instructions.
Why this helps you: Writing grows in steps: first with help, then after instructions, then alone. Ticking the true box shows you the very next step to take.
Q5.
You may select more than one box for each point.
5. I was able to do all the activities:
□ By myself   □ With the help of my teacher   □ With the help of my classmates   □ With the help of my family members
Answer

Think of the activities — the paper chain in Chapter 1, writing your name in Braille, pressing a shape into paper and feeling it from behind. Who was with you when you did them?

The boxes you may tick:

  • By myself
  • With the help of my teacher
  • With the help of my classmates
  • With the help of my family members

You may tick more than one box, because you may do it in more than one way. Tick only what is really true for you.

Sample answer: Most children tick two or three boxes here, because some activities were done in class and some at home.
Why this helps you: Some activities really do need another pair of hands, and asking for help is not a weakness. But if every box you tick is a helper, try the next activity alone first, and ask only when you are stuck.
