« Other Evidence for Evolution | Main | End of Grading Period is Near »
The background information part of your research report is due next week. It should be written in the research paper form discussed in the Write Source Text online Chapter 11.
You need to organize your report so that you introduce your problem or question in the first paragraph, provide the purpose for the study in the second paragraph, give background information related to the topic in the next few or several paragraphs, and close with a paragraph that includes your hypothesis. The bibliography or works cited page will also need to be included.
You do not have to include a title page at this time. Your work will be evaluated by the E-rater component of the writingscience site (see earlier post).
It is suggested that you prepare your report using a program like Word and then copy-paste it into essay builder component of the site and then use the revision checker component to edit your work based on the suggestions for a research report. When you are finished with your editing and are ready to have it graded, you will copy-paste the entire report and submit it to E-rater as a research report. The submit button is at the bottom.
Remember to SAVE OFTEN when you are working on your report.
