Week of April 22

This week in English 10, students will begin presenting their research topics to the class.
Starting Monday, students will present for 2-6 minutes about their topic starting in reverse alphebetical order.
This is the handout for the project:
Final Research Presentation

Starting Monday, April 22, you will be presenting on your research topic. For this presentation, you may present any way you’d like. You may create a power-point, poster board, or just give a verbal summary. The reason for this presentation is to allow the other students in class to realize all the work you’ve done in completing your research. Tell your audience some interesting facts that you’ve found out that might persuade them to think the same way you do.

Again, you may present any way you think is most interesting, but you may not just read your paper in front of the class.

Some possible presentation ideas:
• debate with another student
• design a PowerPoint
• discuss an article that you used for a source in your paper
• hold a question/answer session
• create a poster

Whatever method you choose to present your research, you are expected to explain what you’ve learned and defend your stance on the topic.

Length: 3-6 minutes

Grading: 20 points possible

Final research paper topic due – We’ve spent the last week discussing different topic ideas and looking at articles for those topics that interest you. Using what you know interests you, pick a topic that would be beneficial for you, personally to research and teach others about.

We will be in the lab this day to fill out the “Research Topic Q&A” – When you are finished typing your answers on the Q&A, print it out and hand it in for credit.

We will also be discussing the different scholarly databases, their advantages, and how to access them. You need at least one source in your paper from a scholarly database.

Outline due today!

We will be in the classroom this day to go over some different grammatical rules we have learned so far this year. We are doing this both for review for the research paper, and for those of you taking the ACT on April 13. We will discuss some of the main grammatical rules that the ACT looks for. Some of these rules you haven’t been introduced to yet, but I am still going to cover these so that you have some idea while taking the test. This will also help you while writing your research paper. Finals are coming up as well, so a little review will also help you prepare for this.

 

Friday, April 12

We will be in the classroom again doing some more review. At the end of class, there will be a timed quiz reviewing what we’ve been going over the past few days. I will announce what will be covered on that quiz on Thursday.
