Abstract
“How to Rite the Research Paper” – Research paper writing is a standard form used by English teachers across the world. It should be a defining moment in the education of a young adult. Making the writing of the research paper a Rite of Passage involves examining the multiple layers of experiential learning. This presentation will take you through the steps taught at Tallwood High School’s Global Studies and World Languages Academy, focusing on the practical aspects of original research by looking at the use of cohort groups, a two-tiered rubric, panel assessment, and public showcasing of the work.
Students' work will be available for perusal and a small panel will field any questions.
