This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime.

For the last few weeks we have covered Identifying Sources, Verifying Information Online, understanding how to find websites, and how to create an MLA Short Form report. We have also discovered how to cite resources using online tools. It is now your job to create a Single-Page MLA Short Format Research Paper using at least two (2) sources of information found online. Your topics should have already been approved using the form below:

Basic Research Unit Topic Survey Form (Click Here)

Once your topic is approved, you were to use the following Google Document to outline your research keywords and come up with a Research Question:

"Basic Research Introduction Student Worksheet" Google Document
You must open the document, click FILE and MAKE A COPY, and SHARE it with Mr. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) for credit!

The Basic Research Introduction Student Worksheet was also a place to outline your research and add at least two sources of information about your topic. In addition, you were supposed to list at least two (2) facts from each source to help making writing the Research Paper easier. If you are unsure of how your paper should look, please review my sample Student Worksheet and Research Paper by clicking the example links below.

Finally, here are some resources to help you create MLA Citations from links you find online:

These are both commercial sources and may, or may not, be available for free.

YOU MUST complete both the Basic Research Introduction Student Worksheet about your topic, and list your sources. YOU MUST also write at least 2 FULL Paragraphs of information on your MLA Short Form Single-Page Research Paper and add your sources of information as MLA Citations at the bottom of the page for credit.
