If you need a lot of flexibility with time, self-paced courses may be a better choice for you.

Quiz – six sentences- 25m

Test – paragraph (150-200w) -50m

 

Documents and email attachments

- test or quiz must be in an email attachment

Your document must be readable by Microsoft Word

Files like this: .doc .rtf (preferred)              .txt (not as good)

Do you know what this means?

Some people know a lot about computers.

Some people don’t know a lot about computers. I will explain step by step.

 

*If you have Microsoft Word, use that. easiest and best way

Save your quiz as a .doc

 

If you don’t have MSWord, you can use WordPad on Windows.

WordPad is a free piece of software for word processing that comes with Windows.

 

For Apple/Mac computers, you can try Pages.

Pages? Can you save documents as .doc or .rtf?

Do that!

 

Googledocs can be made to work- save the file on your computer and attach it to your email to me.

https://docs.google.com

File - Download - .docx

 

 

After you have written the quiz and saved the file, attach the file to your email. Then send it to me.

 

In the Subject line of your email, you must put your name, class, time and quiz or test number.

For example: Joe Chen, EF6, 8:30, Test1

If you do not put this information in the Subject line of your email, I will not know who you are or what class you are in.

I will not be able to mark your work or record a mark for you.

 

Also, you should title your quiz or test with the same information. Then I have a record of your quiz or test if we ever have to go back to review it.

 

Name the file:

Name, Class, Time, Quiz or Test #

e.g. “SarahChenEF58:30Quiz1”

 

** It will be very difficult to try to do this class on a phone.

REVIEW

1.    Write your quizzes and tests using a word processing program like Word or Wordpad, Pages, Googledocs, or Textedit.

2.    Save your quiz or test file on your computer. This file will be the attachment.

3.    When you save your file, give your file a meaningful name.

e.g. Don’t name it “Document 15”

Name it      “Your name, class, time, Quiz#”

                     “Joe Chen, EF3, 11:00, Quiz2”

4.    Attach your quiz or test file to your email.

5.    In the subject line of the email, write “Your name, time, class, Quiz#”

6.    Send the email.

 

7.    I will get your email a few seconds later.

8.    I will read your writing and make comments.

9.    Then I will return your quiz or test to you by email.

10.                       You can open the file and read my comments.

 

If you can read my comment, everything is ok.

If you can’t read my comment, we will figure that out today.

 

Open up that attachment that I returned to you by email and check if you can read it.

 

Practice for now:

1.    Create a document with some text.

2.    Save it.

3.    Attach it to an email.

*Subject line: Name, Class, Time, Practice document

4.    Send it to me. I will send it back.

5.    Check that you can read my comment.

If you can read my comment, everything is good.

I will check these through today.

We will figure this out in the next day or so.
