Dick Smith Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 He won't learn them if we do them for him, I suspect that wasn't the intention of the devoir.Get him to make a list of words (however many he needs) in either English or French, work out what the opposite is and look it up in a dictionary. Pas compliqué. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tressy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 [quote user="Dick Smith"]He won't learn them if we do them for him, I suspect that wasn't the intention of the devoir.[/quote]Aye. Active learning and all that. I agree with Dick. The list is in the dictionary. Your son just needs (or rather, needed) help finding it.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks Pads, this is his first introduction to opposites and we couldn't come up with any that he felt were the ones he studied, I was after some inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick is a teacher, and I'm a learner. Is what we both said not worthy of remark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Set me thinking now that I'm not sure of comparisons likebiggest - smallesttallest - shortest No, no - don't tell me, I'll look it up (and write it down) and that way I'll remember it!

Panda Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks all, as I said in the original post, he forgot his book so it was never a case of doing it for him, so I did ignore the other responses, sorry!I went and saw his teacher about it this morning as he was not alone in forgetting his book, (I had tried other kids for a copy first). They are now going to revise in class before the controle as a result of this so no problem after all!He gets worried if he scores anything less than 20 out of 20, as a teacher Dick can you recommend a way in which I can reassure him that a prefect score whilst nice is not everything. He is top of his class as he gets 20 for the majority of things. Am I being pushy do you think that could be the the issue here, I do go through his devoir with him and also always ask how he got on when picking him up on the day of a controle? He's 8 and in CE2.
