P1 e-learning Activity
How did this activity provide opportunities for self-directed
learning?
Self-directed Learning
Self-directed learning (SDL) encompasses a family of learning processes in which the individual takes the initiative and the responsibility for what occurs and the individual selects, manages, and assesses his or her own learning, which can be pursued at any time, in any place, through any means and at any age.
– ITE4, p.13
Self-directed Learning

Things to be aware of
• In 1st term of P1, grammar is not part of the rubric framework
• In 1st term of P1, “details” are mainly adjectives of numbers, colours, a sentence not modelled in the lesson, etc.
• When students write simple sentences, punctuation and spelling is often correct
• When students begin to write a variety of sentences, punctuation and spelling errors may appear more often
