Introduction
Over the next 5 weeks, you will be writing a 4-6-page research paper on the topic of your choice. Your English and Technology classes are partnering together to guide you through the process of writing your paper. You will be working on this paper IN CLASS ONLY! We will visit the library at school, but plan to visit YOUR local public library, which has a wide variety of excellent sources that will aid your research.
REMEMBER: Each deadline will be a grade for both your Technology and English classes.
THE FINAL PAPER WILL COUNT AS A TEST GRADE IN BOTH CLASSES!
