Quiz and Test- choice – on paper or computer

 

computer – send the test or quiz as an attachment

 

I encourage to try it. Sending an email attachment is a good computer skill to have.

I send attachments by email all the time for work, business and personal reasons.

 

Step 1         Open a new document. Write the test.

Step 2         Save the document in a folder. Name it NAME, CLASS, TEST#

Step 3         Send the document as an attachment

                     Start a new email to the teacher

                     Attach the document to the email. Use the paperclip icon.

Step 4         I will mark it and send it back to you. You will be able to read

my comments and see your mark.

 

If you would like to try it, try sending me an attachment today. I will respond. We can make sure if it works or not.

Microsoft Word usually works best and most easily.

Sharing a Googledoc will not work. If you use Googledocs, you will have to download the document to your computer and then attach it to an email.

Googledocs   RENAME the document- FILE – DOWNLOAD – Attach the document to your email

 

Goalsetting work

 

today and tomorrow – writing tomorrow, paragraph (150-200 words)

 

Goalsetting- setting achievable goals for ourselves

- things that we would like to accomplish

Educational Goal #1

 

Personal Goal #1

 

Career Goal #1

 

Goal setting: goalsetting

-         set a goal

personal goals- e.g. eating more healthily, lose weight

educational goals- e.g.

 

SMART Goals – nmemonic – memory trick, memory device

nmemonic- north east south west

“Never eat sour weiners.”

Roy G. Biv- red orange yellow green blue indigo violet – colours of the rainbow

 

*Specific – focused, not broad, not general

“I want to get better at English.”- broad, not specific enough

FOCUS IT TO ONE THING- “I want to learn how to use commas.”

FOCUS “ I want to learn verb forms.”

*Measurable- How can you tell if you are getting better? How can you evaluate it?

*Attainable- Realistic, doable, possible.

*Relevant – Engaging, important to you

*Time-bound – deadlines, time-frame 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goalsetting work

 

Step 1

Small group chatting about various goals. Relaxed talking.

Focus is talking and listening- normal discursive conversation.

Make notes for yourself on your own goals.

 

Step 2

Choose one of your goals. Write your goal in one clear sentence. Be specific.

 

Step 3

Brainstorm and organize the steps that you will have to take to achieve this goal.

Use key words (good vocab, specific vocab), not sentences
