Procedure:  

I.  After choosing a broad category in the classroom Gallery Walk, you will need to narrow and define your topic (3003.4.1) and begin your research for your final paper (3003.3.2, 3003.3.4).  You can do this by completing a Webquest.  The following links will help you define and narrow your topic, and links B and C have further links to help you gather preliminary information. Make sure you keep track of the websites you use and write them down on your Resource Cards.

  A. Research Paper and Argument Topics

  B. Social Issues and American Problems

  C. Subject Guide for Hot Topics

Let's get started!

II.  Create an abstract based on the information you have gathered. Use the following sites to complete your abstract.

  A. How to Write an Abstract

  B. Writing an Abstract

After your abstract is typed, email it to Mrs. Mahannah (m.t.mahannah@gmail.com) or submit a printed copy to her.

III. Write six to ten Resource Cards using the resources you have accessed to research your project. Turn in your resource cards (with your name on them and in a rubber band)!
