Today we are going to try out a website that will help identify and fix some common mistakes in your writing.
First you will need to go to www.noredink.com and create an account, using this class code to sign up for my class (copy and paste this code!): me7vca34
Once you have signed up, you will be asked for some of your interests, so that the activities can be adjusted to include your favourite celebrites and characters.
Then you need to complete the "Grade 9 Diagnostic #1" - this will let me know what areas you need to work on to improve your writing skills.
If you finish this diagnostic test before the end of class, you can start one of the class-wide assignments (on Apostrophes or Commonly Confused Words).
We will work on this website 2 or 3 times a week for the rest of the semester, to help target the skills you need to work on (you will get assignments based on which skills need the most work). Before the final exam, we will do a Post-Test (for marks) which will show me how much you have improved since the pre-test.
If by some chance you are super speedy, and you get through the Diagnostic and both assignments, then please go to www.freerice.com and play either the English Vocab or English Grammar games.
