School Hacks 3 of 3

Do you remember Miss. Amanda's display from September?
It was filled with hacks for your school work.
Missed out or can't remember the hacks?
Check out part two below.
The student is in italics, while the School Hacks are left alone.

Writing a Paper:
  • HELP! My teacher just informed the class of a huge essay we have to write. Have any tips to help?
  • Mix up your sentence length. 
  • Avoid filler words such as “just,” “very,” “really,” “even,” and “that.”
  • If you can’t imagine dropping the mic after the final sentence, your conclusion needs to be stronger.
  • Thanks so much! Now to get writing.


Research:
  • What are your tips for researching on the web?
  • Use Scholar.Google.com instead of Google.com. You will find more relevant information right away.
  • Use Wikipedia to find sources, not answers. Wikipedia is editable by anybody, but the sources can be useful. 
  • Use the databases your public library provides for free.
  • Interesting. Guess I really should stop trying to cite Wikipedia.


After Writing a Paper:
  • Thanks for your tips for writing my paper, they were a huge help. Any tips for proofing it?
  • After writing a paper, copy and paste it on to Google Translate, and listen to it to find mistakes
  • Submit your paper to Tutor.com for proof reading. It is a FREE service offered by your public library
  • These sound great. Thanks for the tips!
