Dear Students and Parents:

Welcome to the wonder that is the Pennell Research Paper assignment! This is a very important step in your educational path. While our research schedule may seem a little brisk -- I have found that students perform better and use time more wisely when their assignments are due at the end of class periods :). Our schedule is as follows:

Sample Research Paper taken from Purdue OWL:



= Pennell Research Schedule: COLLEGE PREP =

Media Research days -- Monday, April 9th, Tuesday, April 10th Thesis statement due end of class, (1 homework grade).......................... Tuesday, April 10th 13 Note Cards and 4 Bibliography cards due (1 homework grade)… Friday, April 13th 13 Note Cards and 4 Bibliography Cards due (1 homework grade)…...……Tuesday, April 17th Annotated Bibliography (8 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
 * 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.

The teacher reserves the right to make any changes if necessary.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Good luck everyone!

Sincerely, Ms.Pennell :)
