What about spellcheck?  Everyday Writer Sec. 23.  Ex. 23.8. Let's test your eyes, your typing, and MS Word. Type it up with corrections and print. Save it in your daybook.

Then hand write Ex. 23.9 into your daybook. Number 1 to 13 and only write the correct word down. [Number the blanks in your book to keep them straight.]

Homework:

1. Be working on your Kickstarter On Paper -- remember to have a page of notes done in your daybook. Tomorrow there will be time during class to work on it.

2. TWFTD: mangle OR havoc, you choose.
