TOC 2012: LeVar Burton, "Keynote"

"That which we imagine and that which we create..."

You guys are probably WAY too young to know this guy from his show, "Reading Rainbow," but he's pretty awesome. And this speech is too...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Research Paper Reminder!

REMINDER: Your final draft is due on Monday, February 13, 2012!

You are REQUIRED to email/share with me a copy as well as hand in a hard-copy at the start of class on Monday. You must also hand in your research folder complete with any source materials and previously-graded research work (ie, pre-thesis, thesis worksheet, outline, 1st draft...)

REMEMBER: late papers and un-emailed papers will result in a DRASTIC reduction of your grade, as well as the possibility of a SECOND research project being assigned! (For real...)

DON'T FORGET TO PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!!!

Here's a SAMPLE checklist to help you perform a final check of your paper:

Best of luck! Although, if you've been doing everything in keeping with our timeline, you won't need luck!!!

If you have trouble with the formatting in Google Docs, just do your best with it and then copy and paste your work into a Word doc once you get to school tomorrow-- before any classes start, of course!!

CONGRATS ON GETTING THIS FAR!!!
