Thing 16 assignment calculator

This is out of sequence. I know I wrote a post on it, but failed to get it attached. Tsk!

The university assignment calculator looked lovely as a generic tool to get organized. The research project calculator broke down the steps and gave some good questions to help with writing. I think some of the most worthwhile point that few kids seem aware of is the amount of investigation needed to select a good research topic.

I've been tutoring a 7th grader with spelling and a couple writing assignments. His assignment outlines have had really good points for composition. I was very impressed. Of course, when a child has trouble reading and spelling, even good instructions can seem impossible to follow.
