Getting+Started

Welcome to Ms. Huffman's Wiki! I've tried to provide a range of study tools to help with studying, taking notes, and writing at home or in the classroom. These tools should help organize your thoughts and remember important information. Please feel free to add helpful websites in the appropriate category. You can navigate through the wiki by clicking on the names of different pages along the menu on the left, or by clicking the links below. If you have any suggestions on how this wiki could be more helpful to you, please let me know!

I anticipate this will be used for a group of high school students of various grade levels. I had twenty-five tenth-grade students in an inclusion setting in mind, although the sites will be useful into the college level. While the sites will surely benefit students with disabilities, students who are looking for guidance in bettering their study skills or toward resources that will improve overall academics in English will benefit equally.

=**The categories of this wiki:**=


 * Take Better Notes: Organizing notes can be tricky. If notes are not organized well, they are difficult to study from. This link will help you to take better notes that will be easier to study from later.**


 * Study Vocabulary: These are sites that will allow you to create study resources for vocabulary or look up words.**


 * Study Literature: Provided are resources to help you to understand literature read in class. The text can be inserted in a text-to-speech program, such as the one provided here.** WARNING **This is to be used IN ADDITION to the texts read in class, not in place of the texts read in class.**


 * Organize Writing: Organizing your ideas will help you communicate to your reader. These are sites that will allow you to organize your thoughts and clearly express yourself to your audience.**
