| Welcome
to The Bear's Den. This is the "home" for your web adventure.
If you have questions, this should be the first place to look. It
would be a good idea to bookmark this page now. While on your journey,
you can use "bread crumbs" to help guide you through the
web site. You will always find the bread crumbs directly below the
bear's front paw. These crumbs will tell you what page you are currently
on, and sometimes the previous page. You will also be using the
buttons to the left of your screen.
Over
the course of your journey, you will be referring back to this web
site almost daily. You will need to follow all directions carefully
and complete each unit in the order you are asked to. At the beginning
of your work, you will have the chance to download "The Guide"
that will help keep you organized. Some of your work will be emailed
to your teacher. Other work will need to be handed in directly to
your teacher. (You teacher will let you know about each assignment.)
Unless you are instructed to do so, you will always need to complete
the reading portion of each unit before moving on to the assignments
and questions. All you really need to do is work through the assignments
as they are listed.
Each
unit will look the same. Below is an example, along with an explaination
of each area.

you can click here.
You will also need to pay close attention to spelling, grammar,
and punctuation. (Your teacher may provide you with an editing checklist.)
Before
getting started, download The
Guide and complete the "Important Information" section.
Remember, when you "dowload" a document, you will be opening
a new program. After the file opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader, you
will need to print the page.
