Midterm Test Corrections - A MUST DO!

BE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE POST!

Periods 1, 2 3 & 5 - To access your test to see which questions you got wrong, click on the following links:

Period 1 - CLICK HERE to access your test!
Period 2 - CLICK HERE for your class!
Period 3 - CLICK HERE to access your class site!
Period 5 - CLICK HERE for your class!

OK, once you are in our Quia class site, you need to log-in (it's at the top of the screen). You will use the ID and password on the little papers I gave you for your midterm (and told you to put into your cell or agenda). DO NOT CLICK ON THE QUIZ!

If you need your ID and password again because you lost it, there are two ways to obtain it, though it will cost you! My email is crodriguez14@dadeschools.net ...and there will be a 3 point penalty for me having to look up your stuff again. You can also ask me at the beginning or end of class for, you guessed it, a three point penalty! If you ask me in the middle of class, or disrupt one of my other classes, there will be another three point penalty! Or better yet, you can take the 3-point penalty, or add one extra repetition for each correction you do.

ALL RIGHT, once you are logged in, you need to look where it says Midterm, and to the immediate left is an tiny icon of a stack of books that looks like this:

Click on that to review your test. It will show you which questions you answered correctly, as well as those you didn't. If you scroll down towards the bottom, you will get to see every question, what you answered, and what the correct answer is! THAT'S WHERE YOUR TEST CORRECTIONS COME IN!

For test corrections for novel questions, vocabulary or literary tools, you are going to write each question AND the correct answer FIVE TIMES each. If the question was a sentence completion for vocab, or a literary tools' example, you will need to write the word, the example/sentence that was on the test, AND (most importantly) the definition. For definition questions, just the word and definition is fine.

For the AP or FCAT reading passages, you must write the question, the correct answer, and the rationale for why that is the correct answer, THREE TIMES for each incorrect question.

In addition, you must also submit an essay with your corrections that explains what you found to be your strength(s) and what you do to hone those skills or build on those strengths. You also need to address what your weakness is, why it's your weakness, and what you can do to make it a strength! Does it have to be five paragraphs???? NO! Maybe 3. Remember, however, I ALWAYS want a hook, a thesis statement of some kind, EVIDENCE from a source (it can be your test itself), ALIVE WORDS, a conclusion that POPS, and quality writing! I want to see the reflective side of you here! You CAN type this portion if you wish!

This ALL must be hand-written (except the essay if you choose to type it), and it must be NEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BE ADVISED that this is the first project grade I will enter in the gradebook for the third quarter! IT IS ALSO WORTH 30 POINTS! It's a DOOZIE, I know, but it WILL HELP you!

Here are the due dates: Tuesday, February 1st for period 2! Wednesday, February 2nd for periods 1, 3 and 5.


With that said, if you are one of the students that lost their ID and password, do NOT email me the night before it's due and expect me to respond. Your deadline to request IDs and Pwords is 1/26!

Well, remember I love you...and don't be mad at me :o) I do this because I want you to be better!
