Procedures for completing note cards and making bibliography cards are given in the language
book starting on page 96. Lessons 52-72 introduce and explain the research paper work for the
day; then the students work under my supervision for the remaining of the time. I’ll be assisting
them as needed with proper format, content, etc.
Each student will be given a Research Report Assignment Schedule form. This schedule lists the
deadlines for each stage of the Research Report. In grading the report, I will be using p. 119 in
the students text for allotting points, so there should be no surprises to the students as to what’s
expected and how to get an A.
A. Choose a topic and get it approved by your teacher: There is a list of possible topics on the
bottom half of p. 96.
B. Find at least three books or articles that give information about your topic. Look in the class-
room library or the public library.
1. One book must be either a biography or historical book about your topic. You will be
giving an oral book report over this book as well as using it for your library research
report.
2. One book will be the encyclopedia
3. The other source may be a magazine or any other book. You may read more than
three sources if you would like to.
C. Make a bibliography card for each book or article (examples are on pp. 97-100).
D.Read an encyclopedia article and make a list of details. This will give you an idea about what to
write about and help you write a preliminary outline.
E. Be looking for pictures and ideas for illustrations to include in your report.
