Research Papers

That's right, scholars. Time to learn the correct way to write a research paper. I know you've done these before, but some people may still be unclear on the concept. Some of you may never have written a research paper before. Have no fear, we will take it one step at a time. To that end, you will be reading the research chapter in The Bedford Reader on Tuesday. I will be out of the classroom observing a new teacher, but I know I can trust you to read alone or in small groups. On Wednesday, you will pick a topic and Thursday and Friday we will be in the library finding sources and doing research. We will spend September on the research paper, leading up to the synthesis essay, one of the three essay questions you will be asked to write on the Advanced Placement English Language exam in May.
