Day 3 - Turning Research Into Writing

Catalyst


Review the FULL project rubric by clicking on this link here.  Notice that your background research is a part of your final grade for this project.  Also, check the Final Project tracker here to see how you are progressing.

Today's Challenge


Today you will be finishing up your research by completing your Background Research document and beginning work on drafting your Research Summary.  Remember that the specific requirements for the background research can be found in the instructions for Day 1 and Day 2.  Your background research MUST include the following:

  1. All questions answered completely (see Day 2)
  2. All sources cited
  3. At least 4 reputable sources are cited in the document (you will likely have more by the time you are finished)
  4. All questions are answered in YOUR OWN words and are NOT COPIED FROM WEB PAGES!
Once you have finished your Background Research let me know, I will confirm you are ready to move on.  

Please see the directions for the Research Summary below.  Congratulations you're ready to begin pulling your thoughts together and writing a REAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PAPER!

You will have two choice in writing your paper.  Choose your own adventure!  You can either follow the Traditional Research Summary route or you can create a Public Health Advisory (this option is recommended for students who have found that their topic presents significant health risk to human or the environment).  Explore both options below and choose the option that makes the most sense for you!
