** Optional Replacement Quiz **
**************************
A few people have
asked me about rewriting quizzes. Maybe they had a bad quiz or missed a quiz.
In my classes, I
offer an optional replacement quiz for anyone who would like to do one.
Next week, you will
have an opportunity to replace one of the quizzes that you wrote.
Again, this is
optional. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.
So far we have done five
quizzes:
Quiz#1 compound
sentences X/6
Quiz#2 complex sent-
adv cl X/6
Quiz#3 complex sent-
adj cl X/6
Quiz#4 complex sent-
adj cl X/6
Quiz#5 complex sent-
noun cl X/6
You have your marks
for those.
You may have one
quiz that you were not satisfied with.
One is one. Not two,
not three. 1=1
You choose which one
and let me know by email.
You will do the
replacement quiz during regular class time, as usual. It will be Tuesday, January
24th. We will do it the last 25 minutes of class.
The replacement quiz
will be a new quiz. The replacement quiz will be a mix of all sentence styles.
e.g. If you want to
replace your Q#2, the adverb clause quiz, the replacement quiz will not just be
on adverb clauses; it will be on all of the sentence styles.The replacement
quiz will be six sentences, as usual- mix of simple, compound, complex. e.g. 1
simple, 2 compound, 3 complex OR 2 simple, 2 compound, 2 complex.
Your old mark will
be replaced with the new mark. It will not be the higher of the two marks.

Q5 2/5
Q3 or Q4- you decide
Q3
Replacement quiz
3.5/6 The average for your quizzes will
go up. You’re getting closer to pass. You will feel better.
Think about if you
would like to replace one of your quiz marks.
ADVICE:
If you have pretty good
marks, just leave them. Don’t bother with the replacement quiz.
On the other hand, if
you have a really low mark somewhere, it would be worth doing the replacement
quiz.
REMINDER: Quizzes
are worth about 30% of your final mark.
ACTION:
What you can do:
Email me by Thursday
at 5PM which quiz you would like to replace, if you want to replace one.
Send me an email.
Make sure you use a
proper Subject line in your email:
“Name, Class, Replacement
quiz.”
“Hi Al,
I want to replace
Quiz#2.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
I will not accept late emails. Thursday at 5pm is the
deadline to let me know if you want to replace a quiz. You have 54 1/2 hours.
** Optional replacement test **
A few people have asked me about rewriting tests.
Maybe they had a bad test or a missed test.
In my classes, I offer an optional replacement
test for anyone who would like to do that. This is exactly the same deal as the
replacement quiz.
On Wednesday, January 25th, you will have
an opportunity to replace one of the tests that you wrote. This is optional.
You don’t have to do it if you don’t want.
As of today, we have done five tests:
Test#1 x/6 x/12 doubled e.g. 4/6=8/12
Test#2 x/12
Test#3 x/12
Test#4 x/12
Test#5 x/12
*I double the test marks because tests are
worth twice as much as quizzes.
You have the marks for those.
You may have one test that you were not
satisfied with. Perhaps you missed a test and did not make it up. You can
replace one of those tests. You choose which one.
One is one. Not two, not three. 1=1
You will do the replacement test during
regular class time, as usual. It will be on Wednesday, January 25th. We will do
it the last hour of class.
The replacement test will be a new test, a
new topic. The replacement test will be a paragraph, as usual.
Your old mark will be replaced with the new
mark. It will not be the higher of the two marks.
Think about if you would like to replace
one of your test marks.
If you have pretty good marks, just leave
them. Don’t bother with the replacement test.
Email me by Thursday at 5PM which test you
would like to replace, if you would like to replace one.
Send me an email.
Make sure you use a proper Subject line:
“Name, Class, Replacement Test.”
“Hi Al,
I want to replace Test#1.
Thanks,
Betty”
I will respond.
“Ok. Thanks.
Al”
I will not accept late emails. Thursday at 5pm
is the deadline to let me know if you want to replace a test.
This is the same deal as the optional
replacement quiz.
Presentation #1: A Person in My Life Who I
Admire
Who is a person in your life who you admire?
Choose one person. It can be anyone: older, younger, a sibling, parent, relative,
friend, community member, etc.
This week, you will put together a short
presentation around the person. There will be two parts to this project:
WRITTEN (2 paragraphs) (6 points)
-A paragraph describing who they are. What is
their name, age, background, etc? Give their background. Explain who they are.
-A paragraph explaining why you admire them.
What characteristics do they have that you admire? What do they do that you
admire?
SPOKEN (3-4 minutes) (4 points)
On next Tuesday and Wednesday, you will tell
the class about this person and why you admire them. You can come to the front
of the class and talk to us. You can take a few written notes in case you
forget something. However, no reading.
Here are some possible topics to focus on:
Their personality traits
Their life story
Their actions
Things they have said
Their greatest achievements
Why you chose this person to talk
about
Why you admire them
When you met this person
Their effect on other people
How they compare to other people
If you’d like to be like them or not
If you think you could be like them
or not
We will
start getting ideas together starting today. We will take some time in the next
few classes to organize, write, and polish.
Also, I
will teach people how to use a microphone.
You can use
a mic for your presentation.
