Here is a brief summary of our course as discussed in class, I will attempt to work through the 10th grade research project with you by following the process myself. This way, we can figure out how to make this exercise useful and rational by navigating the rough waters together. My plan is to be as transparent as possible in my blog by discussing my topic choice, research questions, posting my works cited and final essay, as well as discussing any problems i foresee or tackle along the way. I will try to stay a week or two ahead of you so that you can see my thoughts process and actions taken towards constructing the essay portion of your project. I will also attempt to let you know the amount of time i spent on each task in order to give you a solid idea of time as well.
Your job will be to follow my posts and ask any questions via the comments section of each post (or in person if you wish). You can look here for any ideas or questions related to your own topic and i will respond here as well. These will range from choice of topic to possible places to research/interview/experiment...etc.
Also, you will be able to look at Essay format, Works Cited format and other concepts and ideas that you may not be familiar with.
This blog will be linked to the course wiki, so we will also be making sure your parents are aware of the blog; thus allowing them access to our progress and conversation! When you are on track, all will know...and when you are behind, well, there is a downside to transparency as well, isn't there?
