Today was a crash course in how to write a research paper each week. It may seem like a lot, but you will get in a groove and enjoy it. I can't wait to see what you write about. Do your best each week, and you will get better and better at the process.
Here's what you'll do this week:
1. Research astronomy (or topic of your choice) using at least two sources. You'll see in your guide that CC Connected has science snippets available in the file sharing section, and there are also relevant science cards if you own them.
2. Follow process for fused outlining (see below resources), then write a one paragraph paper from your fused outline. Put the finished paper in your sketch journal.

3. Draw a picture of your topic.
4. Write a bibliography. Here are some great resources. And of course we will review bibliographies a few times over the next few weeks.

5. Practice presenting your paragraph. We will be working on presentation skills over the next 6 weeks!
