Final Research Chart
ONE person in your group should go to the Final Research Chart Google Doc from the link above.
Once you are looking at the document, click on "File" in the upper left corner.
Then click on "Make a Copy" from the drop down menu.
This will allow you to work on your own copy of the chart in your Google Drive account.
After you have made your own copy, hit the blue "share" button in the upper right corner. Share the Google Doc with the other members of your group by typing in their Google Drive email address. This will allow all of the members of your group to work on the same document at the same time.
When your entire group is on the document, one person needs to type your topic and approved thesis statement into the Google Doc. This will allow your group to stay focused on the thesis you are trying to prove. Now you can complete your research. You can use information you found during pre-research or search for new information. You will need to consider the reasons you developed yesterday and find facts to support these reasons. Also, consider the organization/plan you are trying to support. What research or information will you need to prove your point? You will need at least three websites to support your position. Make sure you save the websites on the Google Doc so you can find them when we do MLA citations. This is your last chance to do research on this topic before we start the actual writing process. Use your time wisely.
