The Research Paper Begins

We began the day by adding the terms simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentence to our grammar notes. After a sentence identification warm-up, we moved on to some general discussion of plagiarism and the research paper. We brainstormed possible topics from the book Speak, and students chose one they might like to write about.

HW Respond to the following regarding the topic you have chosen:

1. Why does this topic interest you?
2. Come up with three to five questions about the topic that you could answer in a research paper.
