Here’s a copy of the spelling personal survival list that will be due next week; more information will follow. If you have a Gmail account, send me a message at: ajviens@gmail.com so that I can add you to my contact list and send you a Gmail with an attachment that will let you save it at Google Docs. It is much easier to work with it in Google Docs.

If you don’t have a Gmail account yet, print out a copy in class today or at home tonight. You can update it at later on Google Docs when you get a Gmail account.

It is your job to talk to your parents and get help with any of the survival list words that you don’t know how to spell. These words are frequently required in filling out job applications, forms, rental agreements and other documents that are required of you in everyday life. Remember what we discussed in class about the importance of spelling words correctly and how it is sometimes is used to judge how intelligent you are.
