Tuesday, February 28

Pre-AP
In today's class, students received several tests and grades, all of which are in inow.  We also quickly discussed MLA citation and bibliographies before going to the library to begin researching topics for the research paper.  The outline for the research paper is due at the end of class tomorrow (Wednesday, February 29th)The rough draft for the research paper is due on Friday, March 2nd (not March 1st as is said in the packet).

Most of the information about the research paper can be found in the research packet, which can be downloaded by clicking here.


A few extra notes about the research paper that didn't make it into the packet:

1. Wikipedia cannot be used as a research source.
2. If students do not use in-text citations, there paper will receive an automatic zero.
3. The paper presentation is worth 50 points, not 150 as is stated in the packet.
4. The paper presentation should be 4-6 minutes long.

If you have any questions about the research paper, please email me.

AHSGE Reading Review
