More Keyboarding Today

Everyone will continue to type their S.E.R.C. papers in Word.  If you are in Mrs. Seaton's L.A. class, YOU MUST MAKE ALL OF THE CHANGES SHE HAS NOTED ON YOUR PAPER!  When you have finished typing, you should run Spell Check to look for typos.  Then, you must read over your entire paper to look for final edits. After you have asked me for permission, you may print your paper so that your teacher can edit it again.

If you have printed your paper, you should open and begin working on the Microsoft Word Challenge that I saved in everyone's network folder.
