What's a Thesis-Based Research Paper?
A thesis-based research paper presents a research-supported argument which explores a "text to text "or "text to world" connection to the identified literary work(s). As with all summative assessments, you are required to demonstrate the authenticity and originality of your work through the creation of a "breadcrumb trail" throughout the course of your class's study of the identified literary work.

In this step, you will not use AI. Although you will have the opportunity to create a trend through revision, take the time to edit and revise your rough draft as fully as possible now. It will pay-off in the long run and save you time. Once you submit this draft, it becomes your final draft.

All done? Not yet. Be Prepared to Demonstrate Your Breadcrumb Trail
Once you have submitted your paper to the indicated assignment in Google Classroom, be prepared to demonstrate the authenticity and originality of your work by sharing every step of your "breadcrumb trail" in a 1:1 conference with Mrs. Juster. If you are not able to share a full and complete "breadcrumb trail" your summative is invalid and you will have to start this whole process - from research to final draft - all over again.
