Crossword puzzle handout; learning new symbol keys

DO YOU HAVE ANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS?  IF SO, THOSE NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY THIS FRIDAY!  FRIDAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE 1ST QUARTER AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY ASSIGNMENTS AFTER FRIDAY.  AS USUAL, IF YOU NEED TO COME IN BEFORE SCHOOL, DURING REAL OR LUNCH RECESS, OR IF YOU WANT TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

Today I will be passing out a new Crossword Puzzle (there is no vocab quiz this week...however if you are the leader for next week you should pass out your vocab words to the people in your group either today or tomorrow!).  This crossword puzzle covers vocab words from lists 1-4 (in other words, up to last week).  This will be due Friday!  Be smart and don't wait until the last minute to do it...remember Thursday we will be gone all day in Chicago and you may find it difficult to remember to do it Thursday night.

Today we are going to add 3 symbols to what we have already learned on the keyboard.  They are as follows:

' (apostrophe) = R4
- (hyphen) = R4
" (quotation marks) = Left Shift + R4

Turn to page 18 in your book and open Microsoft Word.  We will begin learning these keys today by typing each line in 8D, p. 18 twice.

After learning these keys we will practice our timed writings.  A timed writing is also sometimes called a speed test.  So, we are going to go to the Free Typing Game website and practice our 1-minute timed writings.  I will explain these a little more once we get to this part of the class.
