Typing Made Easy
I noticed that many of your are struggling with typing. Whether you want to go to college or get a really good job, or even just type e-mails or texts to your family and friends, you really need to know how to type.
There is a free version of Typing Tutor available. You can put this on your personal computer and learn how to type. The system requirements for your computer are at the bottom of the page.
If you don't want to download software, you can practice directly on your computer by visiting the following websites:

Good work today with your practice on brainstorming. Writing with the monitor turned off is simply one way to brainstorm. Other ways include drawing thought bubbles and picture boxes. We will experiment with several ways during this course. You don't have to love them all, just find the one type of brainstorm that helps you to write. This is the key.
Keep thinking about the Blizzard of 2011. We will be writing full essays on this topic. Next week, we will work on how to outline this topic.
