Based on your Quill Diagnostic Test, the program recommends activities for students to work on based on what they missed on the dianostic test. Some of you will have 4 activities to complete independently this week, some of you will have three, some, two, some one, and some will have none - it all depends on your diagnostic score. If you have not taken the Quill Diagnostic Test #2 - you must complete it before Friday if you want to receive partial credit. If you do not take the test, you will be required to do EVERY Quill exercise. Each section assigned is worth 20 points, if you are not assigned a section because you have tested out of it, you will automatically receive the 20 points - go you! Everyone in this class is at a different writing level, so you should NOT be sharing how many activities you have to do - especially if you're gloating about only having to do 1 or none. Just because you're an excellent writer, does not mean you shouldn't be kind and be a good sport about grades. I highly recommend NOT being that person who shares every grade they get and agonizes over 1-2 missed points - it will drive you nuts and make you miserable. Compare yourself to YOU - that's why I like this writing program, it allows you to work on your problem areas without broadcasting it to the rest of the class. I'm curious to hear about what you think about the program, as we're piloting it :) The link below will take you to Quill - REMEMBER, you MUST login through CLEVER or it won't work! You don't need a class code, just make sure you log into Clever and then use your School email to login via Google. It's a little tricky. If you have any problems, email me!
This week's focus is on: Capitalization Practice and Plural; Possessive Nouns Practice; Pronoun; and Verbs
