Update From Home! Miss Everyone!


Nothing like a snow day or two!  Congratulations, seniors, on shortening your semester!  As for me, I'm "on the mend" and working with the one-handed, hunt-and-peck system on the keyboard.  You don't want to hear about my silly accident, but it's enough to know that I broke several bones in my left arm/wrist/hand and am grounded now!


Olaf needs an arm,too!
What's due, you ask?  You've missed a class period, so I hope you have found and summarized your sources for your research.  Your annotated bibliographies are due today or by the end of the week.  You should be able to trade and conference your work today. Refer to the Purdue Owl for directions to the annotated bibliography. Remember we wrote annotated bibliographies first semester, so you also should still have those directions and samples!

Hand in your work at the end of class or by the end of the week.  You know you can use the comment box here, and that way maybe someone else from class can help you, too.

You can use class time to work on your first draft of your research paper.  Bring your printed articles or books or flash drives to class so you can get credit for your efforts during class. First draft conferences of the research paper will be next Wednesday.  Come prepared. A completed first draft is a complete paper, not a one-page brief attempt!

Sorry I'm not there.  Let me hear from you if you have questions.

  1. What is to be done in order to write a successful research paper? Are there any guidelines for what will needed to be covered in order to get full credit?
