Virginia)

More on the term indentured servant In the textbook, the phrase
used for indentured servants in some locations is English servants. What’s the word indentured mean with the word servant?
Merriam Webster Online explains it is “a person
who signs and is bound by indentures
to work for another for a specified time especially in return for payment of
travel expenses and maintenance.” What’s an indenture? “to divide (a document) so as to produce sections with irregular edges
that can be matched for authentication.” Think of it this way: when you tear
paper, the ragged edge is unique. |

Are There Any Tips for Reading When Things Do Not Seem to “Stick”?
Some students comment that they read but things just do not
seem to “stick.” If you want to try a method for reading about reality when you
need to be accurate, click this method for reading FOR evidence. If you prefer a face to face meeting or a
phone conference, let me know.
I am not an expert, but I may be a person
who has a similar problem to yours. These tips worked for me. Some came from one
of my community college teachers.
WCJC was kind enough to send me to a program for community college teachers who wanted to help community college students succeed, including at reading. Parts of that program are very similar to what I was told years ago by my community college teacher.
