Thursday, each student was given the copies of the forms for their final drafts of the research project that is due on Tuesday, November 26th.
They should be bringing home TWO pages of the Fossil Hunter News and a bibliography page. They must use these forms for their project.
The students have also been given the guidelines for citing their sources in the bibliography. They have been provided with specific forms upon which they can fill in all of the information they will need for their bibliography.
I have met with the students in small groups to explain the guidelines, and reviewed the information as a whole class on Friday.
Books and time have been provided in class in order for the students to complete their rough drafts. The students have also been provided specific articles and study guides throughout this unit that should be in their binders. They have been given permission to to use this information without citing the source because we have not covered that type of citation in class. Students may also access Moodle to review the information there, as well. http://moodle4.smcps.org/

Students are only required to use one source in their project and in their bibliography. The emphasis is using the proper format for citing a book in a bibliography, this includes punctuation, capitalization, underlining and indentation. This information was reviewed in class as well as given to the students in a handout. Fifty percent of this product grade will be based on the proper use of the bibliography.
