Optional replacement quiz/test **
A few people have asked me about rewriting
quizzes/tests. Maybe you had a bad quiz or missed a quiz/test.
In my classes, I offer an optional replacement
quiz/test for anyone who would like to do one.
This Thursday, you will have an opportunity
to replace one of the quizzes/tests 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 some 5 quizzes:
Quiz#1 X/6
Quiz#2 X/6
Quiz#3 X/6
Quiz#4 X/6
Quiz#5 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 you want to replace.
You will do the replacement quiz during
regular class time, as usual. We will do it at the end 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 Quiz #2, the
compound sentence quiz, the replacement quiz will not just be on compound
sentence; 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.
Exactly the same situation with the
replacement test. It will be a paragraph on a new topic.
**No replacement opportunity for the essay
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #1
Q1 4/6
Q2 0/6 4/6
Q3 6/6
Q4 5.5/6
Q5 5/6
You can choose to replace Q2.
Replacement quiz- 4/6
*Great outcome.* The average from your
quizzes goes up.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #2
Q1 4/6 3/6
Q2 4.5/6
Q3 4.5/6
Q4 5/6
Q5 5/6
You choose to replace Q1.
Replacement quiz 3/6
*Less-than-ideal outcome* The average for
your quizzes goes down.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO #3
Q1 2/6
Q2 1.5/6
Q3 0/6 3.5/6
Q4 0/6
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 carefully about if you would like to
replace one of your quiz/test marks.
ADVICE:
If you have pretty good marks, just leave
them. Don’t bother with the replacement quiz/test.
On the other hand, if you have a really low
mark somewhere, it would be worth doing the replacement quiz/test.

Three Tips/piece of advice I Gave My
Children for Public Speaking
1. Deaf grandmother- speak up, speak
a bit louder than usual, slow your rate of speech down a bit, slower than usual-
listen to CBC radio announcers- projecting their voices
2. Good dog- energetic tone, energy
in your voice, animated, avoid monotone
3. Magic eye – eye contact, right
between the eyes
4. Body language-
hand gestures, be careful of pacing
EXTRA TIP: Reframe
in my mind- no group, just individuals
Everybody is on
your side.
EXTRA TIP #2 – mic
usage, proximity to your mouth
Slips for giving
feedback
