Research Papers

Today was our last day to work on our research projects. Your papers are due Monday at the beginning of the class. We will not take class time to work on the papers.

Research Papers

Today in class we continued to work on our research papers. By now you should be starting to type out your paper. Tomorrow, Friday, will be your last day to work on your annotated bibliography, web organizer, research outline and paper. The paper is due at the beginning of class on Monday.

MLA Format

Today in class we went over these MLA format checklists. We also evaluated a paper for proper use of MLA format.

We then spent the rest of the block in class working on our research papers. Annotated bibliographies were due today. The web organizer and outline are due at the beginning of class on Friday. If you have not begun to type your paper by the end of the day tomorrow, you may be a little behind. Your papers are due on Monday.

Annotated Bibliographies and Using Quotations in a Paper

Most of our class time today was spent in the library working on our annotated bibliography assignment. That assignment is due at the beginning of class tomorrow, Wednesday.

We also went over how to integrate quotations into our papers, using this as a guide. This was not worth points, but you might want to get the notes from a classmate.

In-Text Citations

Today in class we went over how to do proper in-text citations for our research papers. We used this as a guide. It is not due, but should be referred to later this week when you work on in-text citations for your papers.

We went over the next part of the assignment: the web organizer and the outline. These are due on Thursday. Be sure to pick up copies of the handouts in class.

We spent the rest of the class in the library working on our annotated bibliography assignment. The five notecards are due at the beginning of class on Wednesday.

Annotated Bibliography

Today in class we began our work on our annotated bibliographies. Here is a guide to the assignment.

MLA Format

Today we worked in groups to learn MLA format for cited works and applied the format to a few practice examples. We used this handout as a guide. This work is not for points and does not need to be made up, but you will be expected to create a properly formatted works cited page for your research papers. Let me know if you need some help.
