Keep your mic muted until you are ready to talk. That cuts down on the extraneous noise.

extraneous – extra and unwanted, negative thing

extra – extra butter on your popcorn, good thing

extraneous- extraneous noise

new vocabulary word?



Today’s agenda:


1. Review email protocols and comments

2. Work deadline – I won’t accept late work.

All the tests are timed.  The deadline is the deadline.

e.g. 10:05

Get it in on time or it won’t be marked.

Make sure you give yourself a few minutes to spare in case you have a problem sending the attached quiz or test to me.

If you have a reason why you have to be late, then I can arrange another time for you to do the test.

All the quizzes and tests will be sent as attachments and submitted via email.


3. Plagiarism and cheating

Plagiarism means copying from the internet or a book.

Cheating means getting your sister to write the test for you.

First time: 0% and a letter to the principal

Second time: 0% and withdraw

Third time: Probably not allowed to take classes any more.

I won’t cheat you. Don’t cheat me.

 

4. Begin paragraph structure and format


5. HW Figure out how to indent, doublespace and set your 

font size.

Figure out the attachments and comments. Email me if you want to check.




Tomorrow- We will begin to review sentences.

Test #1 – pass-in paragraph, general topic

focus on paragraph format & good sentences


Yesterday you sent me an attachment though email. I commented on it and sent it back. If you could read my comment, then everything is ok.

Some people had some trouble, but we sorted it out.

Is anybody still unable to send an attachment and read my comment?


It has to be an attachment.

.doc .rtf

Some people used googledocs and downloaded the document as an .rtf file and then emailed me that attachment.

If you are still having trouble, today is the day to figure it out. Tomorrow we will be doing out first test.

Please send me a practice email if you want to check it.


Check the blog after class for everything that we cover is class.

Hi everyone,

Some students are still having trouble seeing my comments on their writing. 

I use Microsoft Word to mark your writing and provide comments.

Microsoft Word is the software that Vancouver School Board provides to teachers. If you have MSWord, you should be able to view my comments on your writing. 

Go to Review - Show Markup - Comments.


If you do not have MSWord, you may be able to view my comments on your writing using an online viewer.

I found this one: https://onlinedocumentviewer.com/Viewer/

You may be able to find another one that you like better.


Best,

Al



Today is the day to sort this out. Send me an email with an attachment if you are still having trouble.

We are trying to make the technology work for us. It is challenging.

- a block of writing
