Worksheets: Good or bad?
The topic of worksheets is controversial in education. Many educators use worksheets to encourage students to remember what they learned in class while other educators try to avoid using worksheets in the classroom. I personally think that worksheets can help in some areas, however, it does not prepare students for success and it definitely does not ignite a passion for learning. I think that educators shouldn’t use worksheets all the time. Instead of using worksheets all the time, educators can provide hands on learning activities. There should be a balance.
Example of a worksheet:

To create this worksheet, I made an account at quickworksheets.net. They provide three free worksheets and so I decided to create a word scramble worksheet. All I had to do was create a title, add the directions (it was optional) and add a word per line. It basically tells you what you have to do. It is very simple and quick.
