Research Paper – Cyber School
General Requirements and Expectations
2009-2010
This year English students will complete two short research papers, one before midterm exams and the second before final exams. Specific due dates are due below.
The topics of these two papers will be taken from the project reports found in the Cyber School curriculum. They will be the student’s choice from any curriculum found in that individual’s program. For each paper, all the segments of writing a research paper must be completed, including outlines, note cards, rough draft, appropriate parenthetical documentation, and works cited page, but these will be on a much smaller scale than the one larger paper.
