Senior Research Paper

The final draft of your research paper is due next week. Below is a checklist:

  • Monday - Combined draft DUE
    • To create the combined draft, highlight each draft and copy (CTRL-C); then, paste into a new document (CTRL-V). Only copy and paste the text, not the MLA headings. 
    • Re-name and re-number the entire draft
    • Add headings (2nd level for the three main parts, and 3rd level within each larger section)
    • Change the font and spacing/indenting to be consistent throughout (should still be 12 point font and double-spaced)
    • Share as "lastname research final"
  • Tuesday - Revise (cut/replace/add) your final draft, and Title Page/Abstract DUE
    • try creating an outline of your draft so far - one of the best methods for revision because it forces you to "re-vision," or see it again
    • create a title page and abstract - submit as "lastname abstract" (examples are examples only, not meant to be templates)
    • Look at some examples of title pages; your abstract (or summary) should be 75-100 words
  •  Wednesday - Peer review of final draft

For more information on the poem, read this introduction . I've also included a prose translation that you can compare with the verse translation we have in our book.

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.
