Research Paper

Because of the week spent in the library, you should now have gathered enough research necessary for writing this paper.  During the week of December 10, you will begin writing the rough draft.  This should include a balance of quotes, paraphrased material, and commentary.  We will review the definition of plagiarism in class.  All rough drafts will be posted to turnitin.com by 11:59 PM on Monday, December 17. Your works cited page should be the last page of your rough draft.  Make sure it is part of your document before you upload the research paper to turnitin.com. We will spend a couple of days in the computer lab to work on the rough draft.  Please bring your folder with you each day during the week of December 10.

The due date for the final draft will be after we return from break. We will discuss the final due date in class.
