Soon, you will be required to submit SEVERAL research papers. I will return the "Mini-rough draft" for a research paper on the topic previously submitted. My instructions were clear: "Think of this assignment as a timed-write and respond accordingly, WITHOUT citing
research!" Yet, amazingly, many students did NOT follow the directions-the assignment was labelled, "Rough Draft #1" (without sources).

When this assignment is returned to you next week, you will notice that I did not make any corrections in the citing of sources (internal and/or on the Works Cited page). This is for you to correct using the above links. I was appalled by what I saw-especially the mere listing of the "url" on the Works Cited page. This is inexcusable-you are an AP student-and should know better... Do your "research" on how to cite sources "internally"- within the body of your paper.
