English III - 5/6

Tonight you need to complete a final draft of your mini-research assignment. In the final draft I am looking for the following elements:
  • an introductory paragraph which builds to a thesis
  • a thorough first body paragraph with a topic sentence, explanation, and examples
  • parenthetical citations for your outside sources used effectively
  • a conclusion which restates your thesis and begins to wrap up your argument
  • a works cited area which has at least your novel citation and your research citation

Use the rubric to help you to complete a thorough draft. I will be grading you based on this. We have spent this whole week working on this assignment and my expectations are pretty high for these pieces.

Next week we will begin turning these smaller research assignments into a full paper.

Just like citing the book. Author name if you have one or article name if there's no author first. Then the page number.
