- Review of sentences

distributing books to
students – our school is still sorting out how we can get books to students
for now – via email and
internet for material
My
email is ahaley@vsb.bc.ca Al Haley
Class blog haleyshec.blogspot.com
We use the blog and email a
lot in this class.
My focus:
Language: stress on writing
paragraphs and essays. a big focus on sentences – full review
sentences – paragraph – essay
Literature: short stories, novel,
poetry and drama.
Non-fiction – newspaper, magazine,
essays
7-8 Quizzes – short (15-20m),
point of grammar, 6 sentences- Worth 3 pts each
7-8 Tests – longer (40-45m),
paragraph (at least 150w, 150-200w) about a topic we have been discussing –
Worth 7pts each
2-3 Essays – longest form (1 ½
hr), multiparagraph writing (at least 300 w) about a topic we have been discussing
– Worth 10 pts each
Average of all of the marks.
e.g. 8 quizzes X 3 pts = 24 pts
7 tests X 7pts = 49 pts
2 essays X 10pts = 20pts
93 pts – percentage based on
that
80/93 – 86%
60/93 – 62.5% 63
Pass mark in BC is 50%.
ADVICE #1 – if you get below
65%, don’t try the next class
All quizzes and tests will be
done via email.
You will write your test and
email it to me as an attachment within the set time.
I will mark it using MSWord
and send it back to you as an attachment.
There are many word processor
programs. I have to use MSWord because that is my school gave me.
We are going to try that
today for homework. Usually, most people can do it just fine, but there are
always some snags that we will have to work out.
My preferred file format is an
MSWord .doc or .rft
inviting me to edit a Googledoc
doesn’t work.
Pdf won’t work because I can’t
edit them.
If you send me a document
that I can’t edit, then I will read and put a mark on it. Unfortunately, I won’t
be able to give you any feedback on the writing.
If you didn’t receive the
email, let me know.
EXAMPLE:
Test- paragraph (150-200w)
“Describe the symbols used by
the pigs to show that they are on control of the farm.”
Email to me as an attachment by
12:35.
We don’t stay on Zoom during
tests.
Plagiarism – copying from the
internet or a book and pass it in for marks
The milk and apples the pigs claim for
themselves shortly after the rebellion represent riches and wealth, to which
the pigs feel a special sense of entitlement. The claim on these extra
foodstuffs is the first of many special privileges the pigs will claim at the
other animals' expense.
This is copied. This is
plagiarized.
Joe. This is plagiarized.
