1st blog - New Zealand

This is a way of practicing writing accurately. Every week I will post instructions on what you need to write about. You will usually need to write at least 150 words every week to get a grade, but you only need 100 this week.

Every week I will assess your contributions. Each time I will assess you on one particular accuracy point. This time I will check all spelling except place names.

For each contribution your grade will be:
E=Excellent (no mistakes) - each excellent gets you 20% (e.g 5 excellents=100%)
G=Good (1 mistake) - each good gets you 12% ( e.g 3 goods and 3 excellents = 81%)
O=Okay (2-3 mistakes) - each okay gets you 10% (e.g. 4 Okays = 40%, 2 okays and 4 goods = 68%)
P=Poor (4 or more mistakes or not enough words)- each poor gets you 5%

If you do more than 6 pieces, I will take the 6 best marks.
