Block Day: Senior Project Work

* Open

• Please review the AP Test Preparation Page.

* Peer Edit Two Projects In Class

• Project A: Research Paper
• Is there a clear, interesting, defensible thesis?
• Should the essay be broken into sections?
• See MLA Sample Paper

• Does the paper sustain interest through the course of the writing?

• Is the paper at least seven pages in length?
• Research questions
• Are there three sources (there needn't be a Works Cited yet, but we should see the quotes woven in)?
• Do two sources appear to be from scholarly places?
• Is one source the Bible?

• Project B: Self-Directed Approach
• What is the most interesting aspect of the project to you?
• Which areas require (or would benefit most from) further work (chapters, focus, an introduction, etc.)?
• Does this project show parity with the work involved with the research paper? 

• If research is included
• Are there four sources (there needn't be a Works Cited yet, but we should see the quotes woven in)?
• Do two sources appear to be from scholarly places?
• Is one source the Bible?
