Make up quiz; busy week

For 3rd, 4th and 6th hours, you will be given a little bit of time at the beginning of the hour to review for the quiz.  After several minutes you will be taking the quiz.

Everyone else (and those hours as soon as they are done with the quiz) will be working on the keyboard.  We will begin with a review from last week - turn to page 10 in the book.  Type all lines on 4E once as a review.  Your technique grade runs through Wednesday - remember that as you are keying this week.

Then we will be doing a practice "Blind assignment".  This is always interesting as most students really don't like this.  From a learning point of view, though, this shows whether or not you are learning to use the correct fingers on the correct keys.  The students who don't do well on this are the ones who don't use the correct fingers.

Here's the process:  you will move your document "off" of your screen so that you can't see it (Command/F3).  Then, I will have words that you will need to spell - I will spell them out loud and you will need to spell them.  Once we are done with the list of words you can then move your document back on your screen and see how you did.

This will not be for a grade....today.  However, we will do this in the near future for a grade, so this will be good practice.

Tomorrow we will be completing a "Correct fingers" assignment.  This assignment requires you to choose the correct finger for the correct key.  In other words, you may be asked which finger do you use to type the U key - your response should be the right index finger.

If it is your week to complete the vocab list this needs to be done by Wednesday.  Remember, this is a homework assignment and not something we complete in class.  This also means that we will have a vocab quiz on Friday again this week.

To summarize, you have the following grades this week:

1. Correct fingers assignment
2. Technique
3. Formatting assignment (discussed later this week)
4. Vocab Quiz
5. Blind assignment (? - possibility)
