Single Gender:
This year our class will be compiled of all boys. The reasoning behind this is that boys learn differently from girls. By having one gender in the classroom, we can focus on strategies that work specifically for boys.
An all-boys class will look different and be taught differently than other classes in many ways. Some of these differences may include: · reviewing before a test by passing a ball around · practicing spelling words with exercise · providing a friendly competition between each other · providing detailed and timed directions · repeating directions at least 3 times · allowing boys to shout out rather than raising their hands · working with a partner rather than a small group |
