I need wisdom! We spent a week learning POV and my kids as a whole didn't do well. So I decided to spend more time on the topic. I'm going to reassess them. Should I give the exact same quiz? Should I give them a different quiz? Should I use a completely different method other than a quiz to assess them? 🤔

What exactly do you want them to know about pov? What activities did you do and how do they correlate with the quiz?

I find this skill is very task-dependent. I used to have them read the “True Story of the 3 Little Pigs” and the original version and identify the differences in the two stories and their POV.

I gave my students an open-book quiz on rhetorical devices and then, a week later, the same quiz as a closed-book because I wanted to see what they remembered. It worked quite well.

I use the text Voices in the Park by A. Browne. Once the students become familiar with the text, their excitement and understanding grow as to the power of POV. This understanding has carried over since Grade 2 (I teach ESL K-5). When someone forgets POV, all another student has to whisper Voices and the light goes on.

Been seeing a guy for a few months now and I can’t stop myself from getting in my head. I’ve never been in a solid relationship before like this and I’m afraid I’m going to mess it up. We’re together most nights and some nights I need a night off or some space, but when I don’t hear from him I get paranoid that I did something.
I don’t know how to just let things be and feel we’re as good as I know we are.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
