Research Report

When you are ready to begin writing your research paper, pick one section (approximately four paragraphs) to start writing first.  One strategy is to pick the section that you are most ready to write and begin with that one.  

 

Use the “Match and Mix” writing process that we tried earlier this semester with the "Social Networking" assignment.  You do this by finding two or more sources on the same sub-topic (that's the "Match" part) and then writing your own version that is a "Mix" of the sources and your own wordings.  

 

If you would like this part of your paper to stand on its own as a Research Report, you can add a title and headings to it.  You can even create a webpage from it by converting it to html format.

 

Here are some sample reports from Spring 2006 English II students:
