Writing - Spelling (Part 1)

It may seem obvious, but part of good writing is correct spelling. Did you know that there are 300 words in the English language that seem to make up about 65% of everything written? This next Quia activity is going to be one where you get to see some of those most frequently used words and let's you try to guess them.

Try the game and see what words you are shown. Are you familiar with all of them? More importantly, do you know how to correctly spell them? (Don't worry, the activity won't make you go through all 300 of the words!)

Spelling activity link: http://www.quia.com/hm/243006.html

When you get to that site, let the game load, and then use the letters underneath it. Click on the letter you want to choose. If it's a part of that word, it will show up in the appropriate place. If it's not used, you'll be told that and can pick a new option!

I did a research paper on time management and here are a few tips that I learned.
1. When you have a large project, cut it into bit-size accomplishable tasks.
2. Write down your goals and keep them visible.
3. Keeping the clutter away from your desk will allow you to focus on your work more clearly.
4. Keep your work area organized.
5. Take control of meeting times. Before confirming a meeting, ask yourself if you really have to attend.
6. Plan in advance.

I hope you find these tips helpful.
