A Note About Late Vocabulary Quizzes
1. TAKE A BREATH. CALM DOWN.
2. All late quizzes need to be graded manually by your teacher (that's me!)
3. Please allow 24 hours for your quiz to be graded.
Lots of good reasons why NOT to use a web translator!
HERE ARE SOME GREAT REASONS FROM YOUR FELLOW CLASSMATES WHY YOU SHOULDN'T USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE, ET. AL.:
- "You would end up getting your answers wrong and it is a form of plagiarism. " ~ Ashley
- "It will hurt you a lot, because translators do not use proper grammar and often use the wrong words that do not fit with the context/meaning of the text." ~ Miranda
- "It is plagiarism which is illegal and could greatly damage your grade and even get you a 0 on your assignment. " ~ Colin
- "You won't get a grade because you technically didn't do the work, you won't actually learn anything, and even if the teacher doesn't check if you used an online translator, more than likely the translation will be wrong. " ~ Veronica
- "First of all, it is cheating and plagiarism. Second of all, it is incorrect, so you wouldn't receive a very good grade for "your" work." ~Amaya
- "You can be given an incorrect translation without knowing it and submit a assignment with improper vocabulary and/or grammar." ~Chris C.
- "You will think your translation is right and may study that wrong translation for a test. " ~ Sonya
Are you missing speaking assignments because you can't find a partner?
Use the sign-up wiki! It's THE BEST way to find out if someone has a partner or not.
If you are OK with working with someone outside of your section, try posting on Padlet.
I've shared the Padlet between all of my sections, so you will hopefully be able to find someone who is looking for a partner! Just follow the example.
Are you missing coaching assignments? This is the last day to submit make-ups to count for the 1st 9 weeks grade!!
