I am about half way through the controlled task with my year 11 students now and with mock exams, trips and various study days and INSETs looming it looks like they are going to have quite a disrupted timetable before the project is finished. They just dont seem to understand what controlled task is all about despite being told many, many times. The lazy ones are not reaching their target grades and just dont grasp the idea that there will be no additional 'catch up' time at the end. It is however sorting the wheat form the chaff a it in terms of who can actually stick to deadlines and who thinks they will just do it all in the weekend before its due in.
Being tough on this means that some students who are bright but lazy are going to get well below their targets but how can I get over this? any ideas on how to MAKE them stick to the deadlines?????
Also, do you have controlled task making lessons in silence? do you let them ask you for help? the comments can be annonymous if you like but I am dying to know how people are REALLY doing this.
