Senior Research Report

Editing research paper (all are DUE dates):
  • Thursday -- typed one-page update on college plans, combined bibliography
  • Friday -- abstract, combined rough draft
  • Monday -- FINAL draft due, paged in sequence, bound or in report cover
Order of report:
  1. Title page -- include your title, name, course, date, abstract (single-spaced at bottom)
  2. Career section -- what, where, why and how
  3. Problem/Solution section -- causes, problem statistics, possible solutions and evaluation
  4. Conclusion -- what next? (current plans)
  5. Bibliography (for both sections) -- formatted according to MLA
Page numbers - with last name - should be on every page except the title page. The report should employ design elements discussed in class, including headings for each major section. The report must be bound in some way -- i.e. with a report cover-- in order to receive full credit. In other words, presentation does count.

The report is worth 200 total points, so take the revision process seriously.

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.
