Hello Jonathan and Henry!
ResponderEliminarI enjoyed the interesting article you used to create your first quiz, especially for its amazing pictures. On the other hand, I had troubles finding the quiz; after I clicked on the quiz´s link, this message appeared: “I'm sorry, but the page you're looking for could not be found. Maybe it was moved... try looking around, or maybe try the search box up there in the upper-right area of your screen.” So, I typed: “Earthlike planet quiz” on the search box, and among the options was this one: “Quiz-An Earthlike Planet- YouThink.com" so I clicked on this option and finally the quiz appeared. I could recognize that this quiz was the one because in the short blue line right to the image and name of the quiz said: “8 days ago by Henrycart”. I totally understand this kind of mishaps on this web page because I have experienced a misfortune on it. The quiz that I made for teenagers was suddenly deleted so I had to redo it. Coming back to your quiz again, I think it was cool because I had fun with your statement´s options. Alhuaste haha… oh and I got an A teachers! Here are my results: http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm ji-ji.
The same mishap happened with the second quiz, but in this time I wasn´t able to make it at the first time since when I clicked on: “Quiz- “In Time” Trailer´s Questions- YouThink.com" another quiz appeared; I tried to do it several times, but I got the same result. Among the options was: “johnny8” and I clicked on it because I supposed it was Jonathan´s account; and actually it was Jonathan´s and it was there! I also couldn´t find the "In time video´s trailer" at first so I search it on youtube. The video was very attractive; actually, I´m really excited for watching the all movie! The quiz was very understandable and clever, I got and A by the way!:p
In the last quiz, I had the same mishaps finding the quiz and the video, but I was already an expert finding missing quizzes and videos by this time. The video was pretty cool and the quiz was difficult for me ha-ha because I didn´t know the characters´names so I got a C. It´s a shame I know! : S
All in all, I think the tools you used are appropriate for each stage and for each quiz because they are interesting and attractive. And the quizzes´ vocabulary is understandable and also appropriate for each stage.
Let me tell you I really like the cites in which you have based the quizzes. The reading is a good new because after destroying this planet, we can go to the one scientifics have discovered and no `problem. the second one is very nice because when i saw that movie i really liked because it is kind of strange the way they buy things. their lives is like the money and it is measured with a clock in their arms. The third one is very nice because children love that character. It also happened to me that I couldn't open the first quizz. NIce job boys and the questions are easy for each age level to answer.
ResponderEliminarThanks guys for your comments, and luckily I was able to fix the links, I didn't understand why they weren't working, and it was b/c of blogger converting parts of the links to other symbols, thus, the links weren't opening, but now they are all working :)
