Writing Center
Hi everyone,
I saw a couple of students this morning in the Writing Center. Both were working on Angela Davis as a social entrepreneur.
I found some useful desktop programs at the Writing Center. One is also on-line. These programs or databases can help students with grammar and writing, also research. The Expressways has a research component. Students save work on a jump drive or diskette, which is available in the Lab. Ask for one.
These are the programs:
http://www.townsendpress.net/ (reading comprehension and vocabulary enrichment)
Grammar 3-D (grammar in context practice)
Bedford Handbook 6.0 (all areas of the writing process)
Expressways 5.0 (Writing and Research. Great as a brush-up and for guidance on the research process)
Missing Links (reading and spelling)
