Research reports for second semester must include at least three pages of newly researched information.  After BRIEFLY relating your project to something that we have studied, you should document at least three scholarly sources within your paper by using parenthetical citations.  (A model paper can be found in your textbook on pp. 535-542.)  A Works Cited page should include a minimum of four sources, including one, and no more than one, internet site.  Projects will be graded more strictly second semester than first semester.  Your project and report should both show truly advanced effort. 

 

Deadlines for this assignment will be posted in the classroom as soon as possible, but expect the first turn-in date to be around the first of April.
