Jan 22 ... Back in the classroom ... Research, Working Outlines, and it's FRIDAY!



WARM-UP ...

Pick up and read over the handouts on the Working Outline from the top of the Chromebook cart.  You can also find that information online here: WORKING OUTLINE INFO


REMINDER ...


  • An "A level" paper (meaning you start with a maximum grade of 100) has a minimum of 6 sources and 65 notes from those sources.

  • A "B level" paper (meaning you start with a maximum grade of 89) has a minimum of 4 sources and 60 notes from those sources.

  • A "C level" paper (meaning you start with a maximum grade of a 79) has a minimum of 3 sources and 50 notes from those sources.





TODAY ...

We should be finishing our research (due Monday 1/25 to Edmodo before Midnight).  You may also submit a printed copy of your work to me today or Monday ... it DOES NOT have to be submitted electronically.  But the due date is the due date.

Begin work on your working outline for your paper (the last step before we begin rough drafting).  We will discuss the requirements in class and this WILL be submitted electronically through Edmodo before Midnight on Tuesday 1/26.


Make note of the amended due dates for the major parts of the research paper below - and be aware that we will not spend every class day between now and the final draft due date on only the research paper.  We will have adequate class time to complete MOST of the requirements, but you may be required to work on something outside of our normal class time.

RESEARCH (Sources and Notes) - submitted to Edmodo before Midnight on Monday 1/25 (We will go over how to submit multiple files to Edmodo at one time on 1/25 in class).

  • If you have your research saved to multiple files, you will need to:
    • Select the "ATTACH FILES" icon in the submission box on Edmodo
    • Hold down CTRL and then click individually on each of them
    • Then complete the TURN IN process
