The research paper component of Project Pride is housed in the English department.  During the 1^st semester of senior English, students will be guided by their English teacher on the proper way to conduct research and compile evidence for their research paper.  They will establish the deadlines.  So check with your English teacher as to when your Senior Paper is due.

The pieces of the research papers will likely include the following:

• Thesis statement
• Outline
• Research paper
• Works cited

Typical steps to writing a research paper:

• Identification of topic (in SP proposal)
• Location and reading of potential sources
• Development of research questions
• Reading of texts
• Development of thesis
• Development of organization and topic sentences
• Composing
• Works-cited page
• Editing and revising
• Submission to anti-plagiarism site
