(Edited: 11.25.07) RESEARCH PAPER SCHEDULE (click on link for details on each step)
Completed by: __________________________________ English I-_____
1. This step-by-step process is more important than the final paper
itself--process = 60% of grade (120 pts); final paper = 40% of grade (80 pts).
2. Complete each step after class discussion and by the due date listed below.
We will be beginning each assignment in class; you will most likely have to finish each assignment as homework.
3. Every assignment must be in envelope with
this first-page schedule. (I do NOT accept loose work.) HOLD
ON to this paper--it is proof that you handed assignments in on time. Lost schedule = lost points.
4. Your final paper must be typed, at least
three full pages, but not more than five, DS, Times New Roman, font size 12. It must
be presented in MLA style (explained later). Your works cited (old bibliography) will be on a separate (4th) page.
