Term Paper Grading Rubric-1.docx
I would like everybody to research and pick their topic this week.
Please pick a topic associated with the text, or DB questions. I urge you to look ahead in your text and find a topic that is of INTEREST. Please don't just "pick a topic”. Do some research and determine if this is a subject you would like to write about. Often time's, students pick a topic and once they start writing about it they realize they do not enjoy the subject matter.
The Final paper rubric has also been. Download the document and look at it closely.
