如果可以在课表中进行调控，穿插90min与45min的安排会比较合适，如2-1-2=上午5节]]> 2016-09-29 05:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jcurbas/e1ip54gxmxsq/wish/127152934 I would like block scheduling in AP English--for more in-class writing, for instance. That would give enough time for real essay-writing since at least 10 mins goes to explanation, &c. But I think that languages & math need shorter daily meetings.  https://padlet.com/jcurbas/e1ip54gxmxsq/wish/127152935 2016-09-29 05:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jcurbas/e1ip54gxmxsq/wish/127152935 P.E https://padlet.com/jcurbas/e1ip54gxmxsq/wish/127152936 swimming, badminton are better with 90 mins
