The End of the Basics....Which Means....Test Time!

This week, we will be finishing up with the basics. Which means that on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18----> you will have a test. Strictly multiple choice. 30-35 questions. That's it that's all. 80 minutes to write it. No, it's not open book. No, you can't work with a partner. Yes, you should start reviewing now.


That means we are finishing up with the basic "need to knows" of this course so that everything else will make a little more sense! As well, I will be giving out your first writing assignment and you will be doing your rough copy next week in class. You must complete


and submit the rough copy VIA GOOGLE CLASSROOM, NOT by emailing it to me. You must use your school email address to join the class (yoursixdigitnumber@eics.ab.ca and login at the website mail.eics.ab.ca) and use the code x2oemou. DO NOT EMAIL IT TO ME. Don't. Follow directions. This doesn't mean that you email it to me. You submit it on google classroom. There's an app for that. It's free. Looks like this icon to the right. Not through email. Because you won't get feedback.
