Teacher-Centered: Letter and/or percentage grades are given for most subjects. Sometimes scores from standardized achievement tests are also included on the report cards received by parents.
Student-Centered: Oral reports directed to the parent are considered the ideal form of reporting pupil progress. A written report in narrative form may also be used.

Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the zodiac. This is a half-page document with a reading of two sentences and two comprehension questions. In other words, another succinct, but relatively thorough, introduction to this conception of the heavens.
If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
Teacher-Centered: The tendency is to prefer more-difficult rather than easier instructional materials.
Student-Centered: The tendency is to prefer easier tasks and materials because students are expected to do much of their learning independently.

Here is the third lesson of the Styling Sentences Unit. This one, as the header indicates, prescribes a sentence structure with an introductory series of appositives (with a dash and a summarizing subject) that includes an excursus on appositive nouns.
I open this lesson with this parsing sentences worksheet for nouns, which, as it sounds, calls upon students to parse a series of sentences to find the nouns in them. Finally, here is the worksheet with explanatory and mentor texts that is the primary work of this lesson. Once again, there are no modified cloze exercises on this worksheets; rather, there are mentor texts, sentences in the form the lesson seeks to help students learn to write. Unlike other lessons in this unit, I am still less than certain how I might go about developing some structured practice for sentence structures this complicated.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
