Good Morning Musees,

Today is Wisdom Wednesday, December 18th.  I will be at a curriculum writing workshop at West tomorrow, so you will have a sub.  Please diligently work on your research paper both in and out of class.  Everyone should have the following by the end of this week: (Friday evening)

1. A minimum of 20 notecards (but in reality, you should have more than this)
2. Your working thesis statement written, either:
    a. in a google docs working document that is shared with me (this can be your working paper), or
    b. in the thesis statement section of your dashboard

3. A detailed working outline either:
    a. in you Notecard board, or
    b. on your working google docs document that is shared with me

4. An introduction paragraph with your working thesis and some kind of hook.  Remember, your introduction will generally introduce the focus you will take in your paper.

 
The above info does not include your works cited in Noodle Tools and your annotations of articles from last week.

Your rough draft is due the day we come back.  It must be completed, but will be rough, meaning:
You will have one week to peer edit, self edit, revise your content and transitions, reorganize, refine, insert the correct in-text citation elements, print your work cited, edit for spelling and grammar, etc.

Have a great two days, and I will see you Friday!
