The Research Paper

Topics and Guidelines

 

Over the next month or so, you will be working on a major research paper. You will need to devote some class time, library time, and computer time to the project. The links below will help you with your paper and you will need to check out your Writer's Craft book (It's the yellow one) for help with Thesis Statements, Outlines, Editing and any other helpful hints you might need when completing the paper.
