We have started our 3rd quarter project of writing a research paper. Students will soon chose a topic related to a social issue that affects our society. Students will write a research paper that contains two major parts: 1) proving that this topic is an issue and 2) providing a call to action (What can we do about it?). Click on the requirements link below to see more information. Following the completion of the research paper, students will present their information to their classmates in the form of a Public Service Announcement(PSA). The PSA will need to include the highlights of the research that the students preformed and the call to action. My calendar will have specific dates and assignmnents.
Dates to remember:
February 27 - Research Paper Rough Draft Due
March 12 - Research Paper Final Draft Due
March 20 - Social Issue Public Service Announcement Presentation Due
MLA CITATIONS
The Research Paper will follow MLA rules for documenting sources. Students can click here to create Works Cited page citations. Please note that there are many MLA citation generator websites, I chose this one because it seems user friendly. If you have a different site, feel free to use it.
