Syllables

When a word will not fit at the end of a line of writing, it is possible to divide it if it has two or more syllables.  For example, the word education has four syllables:  ed  u  ca  tion.  The division of the word at the end of a line, below, would be one correct division.

_____________________educa-

tion_______________________

Divide the following words into syllables. Separate each syllable with a space or hyphen (-), using the boxes below. 

Example: educa - tion

Go to the Writing Mentor if you need more help with the syllables.

ANSWERS 1-6 1. jus ti fy, 2. lend er, 3. man age ment, 4. coun se lor, 5. min i mum, 6. mon ey

ANSWERS 7-10 7. some one, 8. bor row er, 9. pay ment, 10. his to ry

Writing Assignment

After doing the problems on percent and interest, write a composition that includes the following:

1) explain the problems someone would have getting out of debt if he/she carried high credit card balances and was paying interest on several loans and

2) suggest some things that that person could do to get him/herself out of debt.

Go to the Writing Mentor for help with writing a problem/solution composition.

When you finish your writing, print, sign and date your work and place it in your portfolio for your facilitator.
