Quill is 7th grade humanities' online grammar program. It is customizable and differentiated per student based on diagnostic placement tests. I will assign certain tasks and skills to practice within a designated timeframe. If a student earns less than 80% correct on any particular activity, the skill can be redone until the 80% mark is reached. All assignments must be completed with a score of 80% accuracy or better in order to earn full credit on the skill. Quill provides a color-coded key to quickly see a student's score on each activity. If all activities are in the GREEN level, then the student has demonstrated sufficient understanding of the skill.
