Writing Simply and Well
The Thing Explainer Project

A note on the words: Some words are used more often in certain kinds of writing and talking than in others, which means different ways of counting words will give different answers for which ones we use the most. The set of ten hundred words in Thing Explainer comes from putting together many ways of counting how much people use a word to come up with a single set of ten hundred words that should sound familiar and simple to lots of people.

Research and Sharing Web Resources
If you are working at home and need to check if a site is available at school for your classmates to plan ahead for presentations and group research projects use the link to the right to use to the Palo Alto Network test page. Copy and paste the website address of the page you would like to use to the test page.
If it is listed in a category such as "games" a student login cannot visit the website, but your teacher may still be able to display it on the interactive board so you may plan ahead for presentations and group research projects.
