Practice blind assignment; new keys

4th hour - let's talk Vocab!

We are going to start with a little warm up - turn to page 11 and let's type all lines in 5C once.

After our warm up we are going to do what I call a blind assignment (today will just be for practice).  But, tomorrow we will do this for a grade.  You will not be able to look at your document or your screen while you are completing this.  I will read and spell a series of words - you will spell them.  The object is to spell each word correctly without looking at your keyboard or your document (this shows that you can correctly use your fingers on the correct keys).

After completing our practice blind assignment we will again turn to the book (p. 12) to learn two new keys - the B (L1) and the Y (R1).  These are long reaches for the index fingers on both hands.
