Research Paper Resources and America: Story of Us

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Here is a link to a folder on GoogleDrive that has a number of resources that will support you as you write your research papers. They address everything from formulating a working thesis to creating a works cited to polishing your final draft. Feel free to take a look and download anything that you think will be useful.  *Be aware that some requirements mentioned in these resources are for an A level class, and will be slightly different for H level (see the actual assignment description if you have questions).*

Here is the actual assignment description for A and C blocks.  Pre-search is due Monday 5/8 for C block and Tuesday 5/7 for A block.  The page of notes for this stage is *optional* and notes will not be collected for points (you can take notes, though, if you think they will help you).  The most important part is that you think seriously about a topic and read about it before we meet in the Media Center next week (Monday for C block, Tuesday for A) so you can make the best use of the time there.  Step 2 (works cited) will be due at the end of next week, to give you time to seek out sources from other places (e.g. the Robbins Library, or Minuteman Library Network in general) if you wish.

Also, here is the link to the America:  the Story of Us "Division" episode.  The relevant segment from this unit starts at the beginning and ends around 30 minutes into the clip.
