If you are interested in attempting a Quiz Re-take (for either quiz, or both) you must first complete the ALL of the required Recovery Work for the quiz(zes) you wish to take:
- Complete the Vocabulary Practice Worksheet
- Complete all study guide questions for the assigned chapters. (complete this on a separate sheet of notebook paper)
- Write a one page summary for each chapter (P-5 to retake the first quiz, 6-10 for the second, P-10 to retake both) (summaries should be completed in your composition notebooks. Make sure each chapter is labeled)
- Notes on summarizing are available on page 714-722 of the purple Elem. of Language books in my classroom.
- Here is a link to an online guide to summarizing.
The original reading assignment was first assigned Thursday, October 31, 2013. The first quiz was given Monday, 11/4. The second quiz was given Tuesday, 11/5.
Recovery Work was assigned on Wednesday, 11/6, and is due Monday, November 11, 2013, by 3:30 pm. Late work will not be accepted. Retakes will be given Wednesday, November 13, 2013. A parent signature is required on the retake ticket (which you will receive after your recovery work is graded) BEFORE the retake is administered. Students will NOT be allowed to use notes on this retake.
And now, let's take a moment to honor some students who knocked this quiz out of the park. Their answers weren't just correct, they were excellent. I asked their permission to show their work, as an example of what magnificent answers look like (as well as to have proof that it was an achievable goal to do well on these quizzes.) They weren't hard questions.
