Week of March 18-22

Hey Baby Birds...Research Paper week!  I know you have worked on the outlines (or at least you better have) and are now in the process of writing that paper.  

Below are the details of the paper due Friday, March 22.  You will need to do the following:
-Turn in note cards used in the paper.  Note cards are organized in the order that they appear in the paper, and are properly labelled in the top left corner of each card
-Turn in a clean copy of the outline, with a works cited attached
-Turn in a clean copy of the paper.  There will be a cover page with the following: a picture of the president (preferably in color), years in office, political party and your name.  It can be fun font and all that if you want, I don't care
-Remember...the paper will be 12 font, Times New Roman, double spaced, one-inch margins, and do not forget the parenthetical documentation in the paper (Barry 23)  (Miller Center)
-The paper will be turned in a manila envelope and you can jazz it up if you want!
