Free homework project helps school kids in the Czech Republic study in English

“We also have some enrolled kids who didn’t want to do the video conference lessons so we decided to provide something for them anyway,” he says adding that the school is still providing video conferencing lessons to the majority of our enrolled students.

Teachers are available for consultations if necessary and give each student feedback on the completed homework.  The “Homework by Two Hour School” program is free of charge and open to everyone while the current restrictions are in place. 

Recent assignments have required children to produce a newspaper report, others have included a design-and-build project, science experiments, and an animated story. The curriculum includes researching and producing a variety of writing genres including fiction and nonfiction writing.

Ogden, himself a parent, says the project is “Intended as a support for those parents who feel their kids don’t have enough English-language activities to do.” The projects are created by the school’s teachers who are available for consultations if necessary and give each student feedback on the completed homework.

Currently, the ninth-grade students are scheduled to go back May 11; younger students are due to return May 25 while kindergartens are opening at the discretion of individual districts.
