Research Paper Formatting and Submission

YOU DID IT!!! Congratulations, you are finally finished with your research paper! Now what?

You will email your entire paper, including works cited and outline to adavis@clevelandschools.org. I will print them out and give them to you between submission and next Tuesday. On Tuesday, submit your paper in the brown envelope I gave you when we first started. You will not staple anything together at all. In that brown envelope should be the following components:

Index Cards (Source and Note)
Outline
Works Cited Page
Cover Sheet (this needs to have your name, the title of the paper, the date)
6-8 page research paper complete with in-text citations (and it should follow the outline) and numbered pages 2-___ (they should be in the upper right hand corner of pages 2-___ and should say your last name and the page number)-- YOU DO NOT NUMBER PAGE ONE. NOR DO YOU PUT A HEADING ON ANY OTHERS.

Here is a link for a sample paper in proper formatting.

When you finish, you are going to work on writing your abstract.

Tuesday, papers are due to be submitted to me at the beginning of the period and you must have your abstract in your hand in order to take part in research presentations. If you don't, it's a big fat zero. HAVE IT.
