RE: Fourth Quarter Research Paper
Dear Parents and Students,
This is the Fourth Quarter—WOOHOO!!! You have almost made it
through 9th grade! This quarter in the Socratic class, we will be
writing a Research Paper using the MLA format. Your student has already been
given many hand-outs on the MLA format. I will have some additional materials
on the classroom blogsite. We will be writing this research paper in stages.
The following is a list of the pieces of the research project and when each
part is due.
Pick a Research Question (50 points) Due: April 10
Research note cards and Works Cited page (50 points) Due: April 18
Notes and Outline with in-text citations (50 points) Due: May 1
First Draft (50 points) Due:
May 15
Final Paper (100 points) Due:
May 22
I will be trying to review the steps for writing a research
paper. Each step is worth 50 points with the final paper worth 100 points. It
is important for the students to accomplish each step in order to have a
completed research paper which is acceptable and well-done for this class. It
will be necessary for your student to spend some time at a local library or to
visit the BYU Library in order to do research for this paper. Please let me
know if this is a problem for your student.
We will also be reading and studying Beowulf this quarter.
We will begin the reading on April 11th and continue until the final
test on Beowulf which will be on May 14th and the Epic Poem Project
which will be due on May 9th.
The test dates for this quarter will be:
Test on China and Islam T,
April 16
Test on Charlemagne Th,
May 2
Test on Beowulf T.
May 14
Test on Medieval History T,
May 21
FINALS May
24-29
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your support!
