Step 1 - Research

On October 17th students chose their topic. I tried to keep the topics

simple and interesting. The students spent a considerable amount of time

during the week researching their topic using library books and the

classroom laptops. Hopefully, the students have collected the majority of

their research by now.

I am requiring that students document their sources.

For example, if they found information on a website, then they should list

the specific website as a source. Information from a book or magazine would

also be listed as a source.

Step 2 - Rough Draft
