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
Beginning on Monday, October 24th, we will begin organizing student notes
and research. Students will then begin planning their papers and writing
the rough draft.
When the rough draft is finished, it will be edited by three students before
coming to me to review.
The rough draft should be written by hand to allow for changes and corrections.
Step3 - Final Draft
The final draft should be word-processed. This can either be done at home or at school.
I will give students time to work on it in class.
