Description
#1 A sentence outline (worth a maximum of 100 points): Make a sentence outline similar to the sample sentence outlines given in your handbook or The Moose Guide to Writing. Do not use a series of questions in your outline. Make the outline complete; use correct spelling and grammar, of course. ( I attached my outline to be used)
#2 Bibliography or "Works Cited" page (up to 100 points): Alphabetize and put into the proper format all six sources that will be used in the paper. (You may use more than six solid sources or you may substitute other, better sources in the final paper.) The sources should be in the proper MLA style.
#2a.After you decide on a topic, you are to look up all the available information in the library until you have found the following:
**NOTE** YOU MUST USE THE SPECIFIED FORMAT OF BOOKS, MAGAZINE AND NEWS ARTICLES
two excellent books (perhaps including journals, biographies, or diaries of people involved in the event, but excluding encyclopedias or Wikipedia and other encyclopedia-like websites)
two excellent magazine or journal articles (perhaps including first-person accounts); one should come from the era when the event occurred (for 19th, 20th, or the 21st Century)
two excellent newspaper articles (preferably from the era).
If biographical details are related to the topic of the paper, then include them, but you are not writing a textbook, a biography, or a history of a particular location.
(You may have more than six books, magazine articles, or news stories, but, for the top grade, your paper must have at least two from each category.) You will want to make sure some of your articles are written close to the time of the event, to include the immediate details, and some others, years later, to include final conclusions.
The books may include someone's own memoirs, a relative's memoirs, or major books on politics and campaigns. Again encyclopedia articles will not count toward the basic six sources, but may be used in addition to them. Similarly, Encarta, Facts on File, encyclopedias on the internet are often e-versions of almanacs and encyclopedias, so their information may not count toward the basic six sources.
The final term paper will need these qualities:
1. The paper must have six sources used in the paper properly and cited in the bibliography ("works cited" page).
2. The paper must use correct in-text references to authors, their works, and the appropriate page numbers. For example, when you refer to a source the first time, you should write a variation of something like the following:
3. The body of the paper (excluding outline and entries) must have at least 1,500 words. (Do the math: If you turn in a paper with only1,200 words in the body, it will automatically lose about 20 points.
4. The paper must have an outline in a sentence format (declarative sentences, not interrogatives, phrases, or questions).
5. The paper must have a title page before the outline.
6. The title of the paper must be repeated at the top of page 1 of the paper (where the body of the paper begins).
7. The pages themselves must be numbered. The paper should be in the proper order: title page, outline, body of paper (in sequence and all right side up), and bibliography page.
8. The paper must have a proper balance of sources. It may not rely almost entirely on, say, one, two, or three sources.
9. The paper must have quotation marks around full or partial quotations. The paper will use block quotes for sections that require at least four lines of quoted material. When an indented block quote is used, it won't have quotation marks around it.
10. The paper must not "block quote" a subject to death by having all quotes and none of your own thinking and evaluation. Do not just go from a quote by Sam Smith to one by John Jones to a third by Joe Blow, etc. Things must go through your mind.
11. Include print-outs or photocopies of each source used in the paper.
12. All items should be in the correct order: title page, outline, body of paper, and works cited page(s). Late penalties: Papers will lose 10-40+% of their points for various degrees of lateness.
