Research Collection

All Eng. 10 students are now collecting research that they will be using next week to write a 5 – 8 page research paper.  Students will only be able to use their Source and Note cards to write the paper.  That means that what you are doing now in class is going to determine how much information you have to work with when you begin writing. Please remember the following:

  • Evaluate the relevance, reliability, and possible bias of the each source prior to taking your notes.
  • Check the proper MLA format for each source from the blog postings here, the MLA manual, or Purdue OWL. Do NOT rely on the handout examples or an online citation generator.
  • Use previous day’s blog posts to review the requirements.
