Dear Tenth Graders,

 

Thank you!  Thank you for being patient.  Thank you for contacting your partners. Thank you for submitting your work.  Thank you for emailing me your questions.  I know this week has been trying for some, but keep moving forward and keep trying your best. 

Looking ahead, I want to make sure that everyone understands that you do not need to start writing the research essay until after spring break. After the break, I will take you step by step through the process.

In addition, if we are still working virtually after the break, the plan is for our class to work entirely from Canvas.  This means we will have access to more in-depth instruction, videos, easier access to assignments, tests and quizzes, and discussion with our peers.  I know we miss each other.  I miss you!

Until then, keep working on your research log- it’s due Friday.  Also, keep checking Edlio/CCHS homework website for handouts and announcements.  If we make the move to Canvas, I will let you know!

 

With much love,

 

Mrs. McGuire

1. Here is the CRAAP Test and a sample research log. 
2. If you are struggling with online sources, try visiting Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United Nations websites.  In addition, NPR and The Associated Press may have helpful news articles.
3.  Remember, you are not limited to online news articles.  You may also use reliable news videos, TED Talks, and other source formats.
Enjoy!

Good morning!  I hope the first day of virtual learning was a success for everyone.  Just a reminder, CCHS is passing out Chromebooks and chargers today for students in need of technology.  You can grab a Chromebook between 10:30-12:00.

I have received many of your research topics-thank you!  If you have not submitted your topic, you must do so today! ASAP! Please, do not try to write this research paper without receiving feedback.  This paper is a lot of work, and I want to make sure that everyone is on the right track.  You should not progress forward with your paper until you submit your topic.

Later this afternoon, you will want to check Canvas for feedback regarding your research topic.  If you emailed me your topic, please submit it to Turnitin via Canvas.

For today:

  1. If you have not saved the research log, please do this today.  Share the research log with your partner, so you both have access to the same document.

 

  1. Today, you start your research. This means you must begin finding reliable news articles to help you write your paper.  You and your partner must find a total of seven reliable articles and record your findings on the research log.  When considering reliable sources, use your CRAAP sheet as a guide. 

 

I know some of you were absent last week and did not receive this handout.  You may check back throughout the day as I am working on posting an electronic copy of this document.  Until then, you may want to ask a friend from class to send you a picture of the CRAAP sheet.

 

  1. Refer to the research prompt (task sheet) as a guide when trying to find research (quotes and reliable information) for your paper. Remember, you will need to research a history of your issue, so you can explain the problem in your essay; you will need to explain how the issue impacts your country (please refer to your points a-c on the topic card you submitted to Turnitin); and you will need to research possible solutions for each impact (points a-c).
  2. This research log is due Friday by 11:59 M. This will be your primary assignment for the rest of the week.  Please believe me when I say it is a lot of work.  Do not wait until Thursday to get started on your research.  Please do not email me with questions at ten P.M. on Friday night- I will be in bed!  Please feel free to email me with questions and concerns prior to the due date.

You will submit your completed research log to Turnitin via Canvas by Friday.  We will NOT start writing the paper until after spring break.

 

Good luck, and happy researching!  Remember to keep checking Edlio/CCHS homework website each day for handouts and announcements!
