 Assignment Planner |
The Assignment Planner has 4 places to break down an assignment into phases. An assignment that is commonly broken into phases is the research paper. Often, there will be a due date for the completed assignment, a due date for the outline, a due date for the rough draft and so on. This form might be useful for your child to record what part of an assignment is due and when it is due. |
Resources:
The Synonym Finder by J. I. Rodale (an excellent thesaurus)
Hodges' Harbrace College Handbook by Hodges and Whitten, published by Harcourt, Brace, and Jovanovich (an excellent handbook) These can often be found at your public library and used book stores. The older editions are good so if you can find a used one for free or under $10, get it. [I have two, published in 1963 and 1984]
