SUBMITTING YOUR RESEARCH PAPER TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM Hi, folks. I haven't gotten any official word yet about whether or not we're supposed to be conducting instruction online. I know you've worked very hard on your research papers. English 12, you folks should have all of your paper done except for the conclusion and works cited. I do not want your work to go to waste. I'm concerned that if I have you turn it in a month from now, there will be confusion. With that in mind, I would like you to submit as much of the research paper as you have done to Google Classroom. If you're not sure of some step because you were absent, please take a look at the homework pages. I've linked handouts for English 12, for example, and if you're not sure what to do, please email [email protected]. Here's what I need from English 12: Intro, argument, counter, rebuttal. Don't worry about the conclusion or works cited for now. Since I don't know what's going to happen, I want to give you credit for all the hard work you did. Going forward, we'll see what occurs in the future. Doing the works cited will be a separate assignment, most likely. |
