To prove a point!

Friends, neighbors, teachers and countrymen!

There have been so many people writing about the problems of reducing the size of their worksheets and even more uploading one sheet at a time, sometimes uploading the solution to the worksheets on a page of its own.

I even saw one WS with a black and white coloring picture and the second half on a sheet by itself because of it "being too big"!!! Disapprove

A good worksheet does just that - keeps the students busy with work.

Mpoth uploaded a worksheet that was 6 pages long yesterday.
It was filled with information and lots of activities. It had images and boxes and bells and whistles - the whole works - and it was all on ONE DOWNLOAD.
So I �m wondering what the problem is here with 5 worksheets being uploaded as 5 pages, separately. Is this a point issue? I sure hope not!!

Just to prove my point -

I totally agree with you! Some of us spend a lot of time reducing the size of our ws to be able to upload several pages in one go! Some just don �t seem to put the effort in and it is a real shame. As you said we all here to share resources...
This site is not about competition and the most number of points!! I don �t think anyone with more than 500 points will use them all.
Have a nice day.

Hi All,

Hopefully it�s out of ignorance rather than greed. And then of cause there is the human factor. We are / were taught in geography, that rivers take the easiest route to the sea. Well I think they probably learned that from us humans.

Most people couldn�t be bothered to do it the correct / accepted way. If all else fails read the instructions.

Another member who manages to fit in pages and pages (sometimes 10+) of great quality work with fantastic grammar explanations and activities is Allakoalla

I have to say I really appreciate a well thought out worksheet with great explanations and activities... it makes me really think about what I am teaching, and to think about how to approach different grammar points rather than how I used to teach in a native classroom. As a new ESL teacher I have learned so much myself from reading through the various worksheets. My teaching and understanding has been taken to a whole new level due to the awesome contributions of many members here. Tongue
