Honors+Research+Project

Dear Students and Parents:

On this page, you will find the wonder that is the research paper assignment. The project is comprised of many different components; it is very important that you keep up with each assignment. The research paper due date schedule is posted below. In case students and parents need an example of a completed paper, I have included a sample. Here is a sample college research paper that I found on Purdue's OWL that is in MLA format:



Here are a few important dates (just in case you cannot open the file):

= ** Research Schedule: HONORS ** = Media Research days -- Monday, April 9th, Tuesday, April 10th Thesis statement due end of class, (1 homework grade).......................... Tuesday, April 10th 15 Note Cards and 6 Bibliography cards due (1 homework grade)… Friday, April 13th Note Cards and 6 Bibliography Cards due (1 homework grade)…...……Tuesday, April 17th Annotated Bibliography (12 sources with summaries – 2 homework grades)...Tuesday, April 17th Outline Due (2 homework grades)…………………….……..…..………...Tuesday, April 24th Rough Draft Due (2 homework grades)……………….……………………Tuesday, May 1st Ø ** Final Project Due (2 TEST grades)………………..………….……………Tuesday, May 15th **

Minor grades will be accepted one day late for ½ credit. Assignments must be turned in for evaluation, as it will affect the next step of the process. **Absences do not excuse late work.** The research paper and all of its components must be in on the due date. For each day that the paper is not turned in on time, 20 points will be deducted from the graded paper. Papers not turned in will receive two zeroes since the final product is worth two major grades. Please read “policies for the final draft” for more information.
