---Robert H. Schuller



Today's Assignment


You need to finish the introductory paragraph and 1st body paragraph of your Personal Research Essay.

This will count as a TEST GRADE so you need to check for the following before submitting:

  • Did you indent each paragraph?
  • Did you double-space?
  • Does the introductory paragraph tell your personal story related to your topic?
  • Is the last sentence of the introductory paragraph your thesis statement (three research questions summed up in one sentence)?
  • Do you have a topic sentence for the body paragraph (research question)?
  • Do you have 2-3 facts from one or more of your sources in your body paragraph?
  • Do you have a parenthetical citation for each fact that you pulled from a source that would not be considered common knowledge?
  • Did you place the period after the parenthetical citation instead of before?
  • Do you have at least one sentence commenting on each fact before introducing a new fact in the body paragraph?
  • Did you use transitions (In addition, Furthermore, Also, etc.) to move the reader from one fact to another in the body paragraph?
  • Did you proofread?
  • Did you correct any spelling, punctuation, or capitalization errors?
Until you can answer "yes" to the above questions, you should not submit your Personal Research Essay.

In addition to checking for the above, I need you to highlight the following:

  • Thesis Statement
  • Topic Sentence of Body Paragraph
  • Each Parenthetical Citation (Not the entire sentence, only the citation)
Once you are sure that you have done all of the above, use the submission form to turn in your Personal Research Essay.

"A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you."

--Elbert Hubbard




Today's Assignment

Yesterday, you should have typed your introductory paragraph about your personal story related to your topic.  Remember, the final sentence of the introductory paragraph should be your thesis statement---your three research questions summed up into one sentence.



 Today, we will be discussing parenthetical citations and how they are used in a research paper.

You will then choose one of your research questions and develop a body paragraph of your research paper.  Use your research question as the topic sentence of the paragraph to get you started. The body paragraph should be a minimum of 7 sentences and include 2-3 parenthetical citations!  You should have at least one sentence of commentary (your comments about the fact) before introducing a new fact from the source. 

 Use transitions (In addition, Furthermore, Also, etc.) to move the reader from one fact to another in the body paragraph?

Create a new document and name it Personal Research Essay.  Place the same title as the heading.  

Today, you are going to compose the introductory paragraph of your research paper.  The introductory paragraph is where you will tell your personal story related to your topic.

The last sentence of your introductory paragraph needs to be the thesis statement.  A thesis statement tells the reader what the rest of the paper will be about.  Use your research questions to help you generate a thesis statement.
