Happy Leap Year!
Pre-AP
In today's class, students received a sample bibliography to help them as they continue to work on their research papers. Then, the classes quickly went to the library so students could finish their research and their paper outlines.
Remember: 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
We began a discussion on the state of education in America and Alabama in today's class, and discussed the difficulties many students face as they attempt to pass the graduation exam. This will lead into a project that the class will be starting next week on job-readiness and career preparation.
