Quiz#1

I returned the quiz to everyone except for two people who didn’t tell me what class they are in. I sent them an email but thet haven’t responded yet.

 

My comments about yesterday’s quiz:

* Use 14-16 point font

If you use a small font, I will try to read it, but I won’t go blind correcting it.

I have 90 students and eight classes. I won’t ruin my eyes trying to read and correct tiny font.

You have to fix that. You have to figure out to change the font size.

Do you know how to change the font size in your word processor?

 

* Use a proper subject line in your email.

Name, class, time, quiz#

It’s not my responsibility to figure out who you are and what class you are in.

Your class is either EF3 or EF4 or InfoTech. Your class is not EF34.

“Joe Henderson, EF4, 7PM, Quiz#1”

Does everyone know what class they’re in? EF3 or EF4?

 

 

* Number your answers so that they correspond to the questions.

1.                Take the dog out.

2.                What time is it?

3.                Joe and Sarah like to dance together.

4.                aaa

5.                bbb

6.                ccc

 

It’s not difficult. I can show how to number them.

 

* Attachments – most people can do this fine

A few people still do not know how to do attachments. 

If you still do not know how to do attachments, I can help. You have to let me know. You can some time into it also.

 

* Reading comments. Almost everyone can read my comments. A few people still have not figured it out. Keep working on it. I can help.

Can anybody not read my comments?

 

MSWord – Review, All Markup, Show Markup, Comments

 

* Tests and quizzes are timed. Don’t be late. There is a deadline.

 

* Test time is not the time to start asking a million questions and explaining why you can’t do the test.

Yesterday, there was way too much talking during the test. Figure out your stuff before test time.

NEW TOPIC:

 

COMPOUND SENTENCES – two simple sentences put together

 

Joe likes ice cream. Maria likes cake. two simple sentences

 

JOIN THEM TOGETHER:

Joe likes ice cream, but Maria likes cake. 

 

7 joining words FANBOYS- for and nor but or yet so

 

SOBA – most useful joining words- so or but and

, so   , or   , but,   , and – most useful

We use these ones all day, everyday. Focus on those.

 

,for   ,nor   ,yet – not used very often

Sarah does not speak French, nor does she speak Italian. VERY UNUSUAL

It is nighttime, yet the kids are still outside playing. VERY UNUSUAL

‘for’ is used in other ways-  I have a present for you.

‘yet’ is used in other ways- Joan is not finished her work, yet.

 

ADVICE: Forget about FANBOYS. SOBA is much more useful.

 

Examples of compound sentences with SOBA:
