North Carolina Heroes(Research Paper): We will continue to work on our Research Paper for the next several weeks. We have really worked hard at learning how to create an outline for our research. Using an outline helps us to organize and prioritize the information we obtain from our resources. We had made folders with envelopes to help organize our index cards that we will use to document that information we gather. Our next step is to focus on paraphasing (which some of us have worked on in Social Studies) and actually doing our research. We have days set aside to do research in the library and in the computer lab. We will also focus on bibliographies for our final product while doing the research. Once the research is complete, we will work hard to write our rough draft and eventually will finish this unit by typing the paper in MLA Format at school. Ask your child to share with you what an outline should look like, what famous North Carolinian they have chosen for their paper, and to share with you what they have learned about the whole research paper process. You will here me refer to the Standard Course of Study (SCOS) on this section of my webpage. The SCOS states what material should be covered in each subject for each grade level. You can visit the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (www.ncdpi.org) for further information.
