Quarter 3 Historical
Research Project
General Information:
Students will choose a book that we have studied this year and create their own
research writing prompt. The prompt must connect a theme or themes from the
text to a period of historical significance in the text.
Week 1 (February 6-9): Develop prompt and begin finding sources.
Your main focus should be creating a prompt and completing initial research. Consider
if there is enough credible information out there to complete the prompt. Your prompt needs to be approved by Mr.
Wells by the end of class 2/9.
Week 2 (February 13-17): Find three quality sources and begin
crafting outline. Students will need to find and evaluate three quality sources
for their paper. These evaluations must
be turned in to Mr. Wells by the end of class on 2/17 and then students will
receive an outline to complete. 
Week 3 (February 21-24): Finish outline and first draft. During
this week, students must finish their outline and have it approved by Mr. Wells. Then, they must craft their
outline into a first draft of writing. First
draft must be completed by 2/24.
Week 4 (February 27-
March 3): Complete peer review and finish final draft. Final draft of the
research paper is due Friday March 3, no exceptions. Students will need staple together and turn
in their project in this order:
1.

I will not accept any digital format, all completed projects
need to be turned into me in hard copy. You will be assessed on how well you
use your time in class, so please use it wisely.
