Solutions Paper

Your final installment in the research paper is the "solutions" portion - a comparison/contrast of the best available solutions to your problem. The paper should use credible support from at least three sources, and should be formatted according to MLA. Please include the following:
  • An introduction connecting this paper to your last
  • A section explaining/defining each of your solutions
  • A section evaluating your solutions based on specific criteria
  • A conclusion regarding your findings
I also mentioned in class that you may include images in your paper. I went over the process for saving and importing images in class. There are two primary methods:
  • Right click > Save Image As (or Copy) > Insert (or Paste) into Word
  • Print Screen (at top right of your keyboard) > Edit in Paint > Paste into Word
For either method, you'll need to adjust the layout by double-clicking the image and "wrapping" the text. Remember also that the image is from a source, and that source needs to be documented to avoid plagiarism. Create a caption using a text box and include a parenthetical citation.

Seniors ~ Three (Small) Writing Assignments

As you work on your memory books this week and next, you should also be working on the end-of-year writing assignments.  I've given you a handout (if you were on class): A letter to your future self -- imagine yourself four years from now...where will you be, and what will you be doing?  Is it what you planned?  What do you hope to remember about NOW?  What's important?  Address your future self in a letter (standard form), and enclose it in a self-address envelope.  I won't read it, but I do need to know you've done it, so don't seal it. A reflective paragraph that will serve as the introduction to your memory book.  What is your overall impression of your high school years?  What do you want to remember most? Finally, write a poem about your senior class.  The form and tone of the poem is up to you: funny, serious or sad; rhyming couplets, ballad, or free verse.  However you write it, though, please take it seriously.  A copy of this poem should go in your memory ...

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
