FINAL RESEARCH PAPER DUE TOMORROW!!

Today we did peer-evaluation of the research paper rough drafts. Then--if there was time left--individuals worked on reading and completing the study guide.

The final research paper is due tomorrow. The paper must include a correctly formatted works cited page. Finish reading Night--the exam is tomorrow. There WILL BE vocabulary on the exam! I suggest you get as much of the study guide done for tomorrow as you can since you will be allowed to use it for a portion of the exam time. The study guide is not officially due until Friday.

To Guide Your Studies

Today I reviewed the requirements for tomorrow. They are:

Complete rough draft including works cited page. The works cited page should contain three sources; thus three sources should be cited in the paper. Please use the Online Writing Lab link in the previous post to see sample works cited pages, sample papers, and explanations of MLA rules.

After discussing the rough draft, we worked on reading Night and completing the study guide. The Night exam will be given on Thursday. The study guide is due on Friday (or you are welcome to turn it in on Thursday). If you are leaving early for your spring break destination, the Night exam should be taken before you leave--see me to arrange an early administration of the exam.

Wiesel's Style

Today we analyzed a passage from Night in our notebooks. See a classmate to copy the work that we did. I also collected the research paper outlines. During the passage analysis I reviewed outlines. The outlines were returned at the end of class.

The homework for tonight is to read pp. 66-85. Also, the rough draft of the research paper--INCLUDING WORKS CITED PAGE WITH 3 CITED SOURCES--is due on Wednesday, final draft due Thursday.

For reference as you are writing your research paper, visit the Online Writing Lab at Purdue University.

**DON'T FORGET AMNESTY DAY TOMORROW. COME IN BETWEEN 9 AND 10:15 TO SUBMIT ANY/ALL LATE WORK!!
