12th Academic English
On Monday you'll enjoy the Presidents' Day holiday.  On Tuesday, you will hand in the last set of Bibliography and Note Cards, then will begin working on an outline for your research project.  You'll spend this week developing an outline, creating the works cited page and beginning your text writing.  All of the research you've done over the last four weeks will be used to create the final product---your position paper.  Make sure you keep focused on the final product and don't slack off.  You must make all of the remaining due dates for the project, and you must have all components of this project completed before you can hand in your finished work.  Those of you who missed the Vocabulary Quiz on Thursday of last week will make that up on Tuesday of this week
