Seniors
You have two assignments due Wednesday:
  1. Print the Solutions Essay handout, and bring it to class
  2. Find and print at least one source that provides evidence for your Solutions Essay
You will begin working this third and final part of your research paper tomorrow in class. At the same time, you should be working to document your sources--both within the paper and on a list of works cited. We will build your annotated bibliography from those sources used in your paper(s) so far, including at least the following:
  • Your interview(s)
  • College Board/Occupational Outlook Handbook
  • Degree description or plan from a university of your choice
  • The source used to define your problem 
  • At least one source discussing possible solutions
ONE of your sources MUST be from a scholarly publication, or peer-reviewed journal. To find current and relevant sources related to your topics, please visit the ULM Library (either online or in person) and Google Scholar. To access ULM's databases, you must have your CWID (campus-wide identification) and password.

The forms for citation can be found at Purdue's OWL.

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 ...

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.
