Need a little help?

Clipart of books; Size=248 pixels wide

Occasionally students need extra help on an assignment or a friendly reminder about what is expected of them. On this page I'll put some useful tips relating to class projects so they can find the help they need even when I'm not available (e.g., on weekends or evenings). And I'll be sure to update the tips and hints when new assignments are due.

For example, if my ELA 7 class is just starting to work on a research project, I might include tips on how to select a topic. Or if they're working on a writing project, I could include some hints on how to construct a paragraph, a topic sentence, or a short essay.

General Study Tips

In this area I might include some tips and guidelines that students should keep in mind regardless of the week's specific assignment, such as:

When writing, never forget who your audience is. The written word is meant to be read, but it won't always be read by the same audience. Tailor your writing style to suit the people who will be reading your work.
