Notes from the 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 Link (reading and spelling)
