Research papers are due on Friday! Students will publish two days in class. This link above will take you to several resources for research including the final rubric, publishing guidelines, and other parts of the research process.

Class periods 2, 4, and 8 will be hand writing their final copies, while 6th and 7th hour will be typing. This is because of computer availability. Students in hours 2, 4, and 8 are welcome to type outside of class if they prefer. Typed essays can be printed at home.
