Write Right

 A Guide to the Writing Process

 



Welcome to Write Right, an evolutionary software prototype developed for Education 6615.  The purpose of this site is to aid Senior High School students in the proper use of the writing process through guided instruction and practice.

As an evolutionary prototype, only one section of the software package is currently available.  You will be linked directly to that section of the site.  But first:

To use this site properly, you will need to follow these simple steps:

 

Check Resolution

Check for Agent

Optimize Browser

Check Sound

Enter Site

 

Check Your Screen Resolution

This page will work best on a 17" Monitor with a resolution of 1024 × 728.  If the display settings on your computer are lower than this, the images may seem jumbled and the Microsoft Agents will not appear in the proper places on the screen.  To eliminate confusion, it would be a good idea to change the resolution on your computer to match the settings described.

Check for the proper Microsoft Agent

To use this prototype you will need to download the following Microsoft Agent from http://www.msagentring.org/chars.aspx:

Merlin

NOTE:  If you are unsure of whether you have this agent, click on the image to run a test of that Agent.  If the agent does not appear or another agent takes its place, you will need to download the correct character file from the link provided. The character files are self extracting... simply download the file and save it to your computer.  Run the saved program and the file will auto-install itself in the proper directory.
