Research Paper Steps Due 2/7,9

This week we discussed what a Thesis Statement is and how it compares to a Topic Sentence.  We also talked about how to create a formal outline and compared that to how we have been organizing our writing.  Then we talked about citing our sources and not plagerizing in our writing.  We extensively covered how to create a bibliography card for each source. 

For next week, each student is to come to class with a well written Thesis Statement and a Formal Outline and a Bibliography Card for each source we plan on using (at least 4!). 

Remember, each research paper will be between 5-7 paragraphs!!!  Please create the outline to match a paper of that length.

As always, if you have any questions, please e-mail me!  mfernihough@asd20.org
