As we enter the second part of the school year, we will start the research report writing unit. This year, eighth graders will research a topic that interests them. They will be working on this paper in school and at home. Students will be conducting their research independently. From the sources they will create a three-six page overview of their topic. The report must be organized, clear, and informational. During the writing process, all students will create a works-cited page (three sources minimum), fact note cards (twenty cards minimum), and an outline of their paper. Students will be required to meet various deadlines throughout the research report writing unit. All components and research tasks will be discussed in detail in Language Arts class. The project timeline, materials, and due dates are on Schoology.
Upcoming Due Dates:
Research Report Topic Choice due: Friday, January 8, 2016
Source Cards due: Friday, January 15, 2016
