1. Read directions carefully for each questions. 2. Let me know where the accent mark goes. For accent marks: if you cannot add an accent mark, let me know where it goes. For example, esta, acento en la ‘a’ or accent on the ‘a’.         carácteres especiales – READ THIS BEFORE STARTING THE QUIZ.  Also make sure that you’ve read the quiz instructions.   If a word requires an accent mark and you fail to insert/copy/paste/include one, you will be counted off. Copy and paste these special characters BELOW whenever you need them to correctly answer any question or to spell any word correctly. If you prefer using an international keyboard, that’s fine too. BE AWARE: If you attempt to copy or paste more than 3 characters at a time (letters, spaces, anything)…you may be locked out of the Quiz and unable to finish.   These are the special characters:   á  é  í  ó  ú  ñ  ¡  ¿

Timed Classification Quiz (This is worth 50 points. Your grade for the classification essay will not “go in” until you do revisions. The timed draft and the final draft are averaged together for the final 100-point grade.)  Students, you must complete this essay in 50 minutes which will help prepare you for the exit essay which you will take at the end of the semester. You’ll have 50 minutes to type the entire essay. You MAY use the outline which you created earlier in this week’s module which goes along with Chapter 13, but you may not use an essay that is already typed. I will review Canvas records, and I will have you re-do the essay with point penalties if I determine that you have copied and pasted an essay you already completed. Not practicing writing a timed essay will only hurt you in the long run when it truly affects your grade.  I will grade the essay, and then you’ll have a chance to make revisions; I will then average the two scores together for your classification essay grade. Be sure to allow about 40 minutes to type the essay, then spend 10 minutes revising, editing, and proofing. Remember, prewriting should be completed BEFORE you come to class. You MUST have 5 paragraphs: Introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. Choose a topic at the end of the chapter on classification writing.  DO NOT WORRY ABOUT A TITLE PAGE OR APA FORMATTING. SIMPLY TYPE THE ESSAY AND DIVIDE YOUR PARAGRAPHS BY PRESSING ENTER….DON’T PRESS THE TAB KEY TO INDENT OR IT WILL CLOSE THE ASSIGNMENT. TO ENSURE THAT YOUR ESSAY IS LONG ENOUGH…..BE SURE THAT EACH BODY PARAGRAPH HAS 6-8 SENTENCES WITH ADEQUATE DESCRIPTION.
