Let's start writing!!!!

Well, today is Friday, September 18th, and we're at the end of our third week of school. Today, two important pieces are to be turned in at the end of class:

• Rubric Re-write - This activity is based on the two rubrics that is used to grade your Literature Review and your Oral Presentation.


• Outline for your Literature Review which must incorporate your Foundation Questions, your notes, any quotes, and your sources.

Once the outline is completed - you are ready to start writing your paper! Make sure to get a "Self-Editing" handout and a copy of the book, "Writers, Inc."

Remember, the Literature Review is not about you, your feelings and opinions - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RESEARCH, AND WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS ABOUT THE TOPIC.

Jump right in...

Welcome to our Senior Year Blog!! As the title of this post says, you need to "jump right in" and get moving on your project! You've been given all of the handouts that you need to help direct you. Some points to follow...

• Use your checklists!!
• Keep track of your checklists, especially after you start getting teacher signatures/initials!
• Save all work to your H:/Drive (as well as your C:/Drive)!
• Document everything that you do on your project!
• Be able to show where all information was found! Plagiarising will result in failure!

Let's get started...
