You can use my "How To Write a Research Paper" for title page layout and how to cite works. You can get to it from my teacher page, click on Student Tutorials, click on How to Write Research Papers and Title Page. I also have a blank title page in Microsoft Word format that I want you to put in your "course" folder (eg. BBT10) on Google Docs (value 5) along with the two research papers below.
Setting up a Google Docs account:
Setting up a Google Docs account:
- Google Docs -To set up an account, go to docs.google.com. Instructions for setting it up are on the site. Students can either set up a Gmail email account or create a Google Account with their existing email address. For a Google Account, they just enter their present email address and select a password. It simply lets them take advantage of all the free Google services.
- Take some time to explore around Google docs and some of the other applications available on your Google site. You will notice that Google's Gmail will not work at school due to Policy 311.
- Review Policy 311 (about 20 mins to go through it) found on my main teacher page. Also, here is a link to the Policy 311 handout you received in grade 9 to sign, have your parents sign and return it to the school. This is just for helping your research on this project. It doesn't need to be returned.
- Start a new document in the word processing part of Google docs and write a 250 word report on Policy 311. Be sure to include a title page and works cited page. Save the file per my instructions above and name it, "Policy". Value 10.
- Start a new document in the word processing part of Google docs and write a 250 word report on Plagiarizing and How To Cite Works. Be sure to include a title page and works cited page. Save the file per my instructions above and name it, "Plagiarizing". Value 10.
