Writing Right

My 7th graders are squirmy and have limited attention spans - like most teenagers.  I held an impromptu spelling bee in class one day.  I began with easy words like:  school, study, doctor, where.  Then, moved onto more difficult words such as:  afternoon, computer, beautiful, usually, tomorrow.

It came down to the final three, all girls.  The winning student's word was " correct," which was a fitting end to the game.  She won 4,000 riel as a prize (50 cents).
