Social Studies Research packet

I wanted to clarify the Research Paper Scaffold packet. This packet was discussed in detail with each class. It is to be used to assist in writing their Social Studies research paper. This is not a homework assignment. The students were instructed to use this in order to help them with their planning and organizing for their final paper. The second page will prove especially helpful. The students can use this page to help with their note taking. They can keep track of all the books and websites that they are using. They are able to write important facts from what they have read, as well as a summary of the notes that were found. This summarizing will help them to avoid accidental plagiarism. I would like to see their thinking and their organization. If they use any of the packet, I would like for them to turn it in with their paper, or with their poster board after winter break. Again, this is not a required assignment. The packet is simply for them to use in order to help organize their thinking and research!
