Greetings!
A brief recap of today's class:
We didn't write our regular test prep exams or vocabulary builders. Rather, we started with a couple light-hearted rounds of "Man Bites Dog," a headline-building game. Writing a research paper requires a lot of analytical thinking; sometimes it's good to use our brains for a little fun.
We discussed plans for the presentations, trouble spots in the papers, and the format for endnotes and bibliography. We took quite a bit of time going over correct formatting for bibliographies. Working with some handbooks and worksheets, we put some examples on the board of bibliography entries for various types of resources.
Formatting the papers and working with word processing software may be a bit of a challenge. If any parents are experts, be sure to help your students. I'm not familiar with programs other than the 97 version of Word. Let me know if this area (word processing) is your forte. We might be able to use you!
Assignments for Next Week:
-- Rough Draft #2
-- Rough Draft of bibliography
-- Plan for presentation (something to hand in)
Students, feel free to e-mail me regarding any questions or editing help.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Prichard
