Turn Unfocused Writing into Well-Organized Research Papers! The sequence of a typical research project has not changed, but the way students perform research certainly has. Due to evolving media and access to the Internet, students do not always know the rules for finding reliable sources, using proper citation, taking notes, or writing with precision. Writing an A+ Research Paper helps to clarify these and all other research issues by having students actively help two fictional peers: Ella, whose work provides the models; and Rob, whose work students will analyze, critique, and help develop. Writing an A+ Research Paper also has a strong focus on helping students avoid plagiarism by teaching specific strategies, such as using primary sources and analyzing and evaluating information, rather than merely repeating what sources have said. The book, which is perfect for any grade, also: Introduces a definitive timeline and step-by-step instructions for choosing a topic, writing a thesis, gathering sources, creating an outline, turning in notes, composing a draft, and completing a final paper. Gives numerous examples of source citations in both MLA and APA format. Includes a supplemental CD with additional exercises for every step and contains over 200 pages of supplemental materials. If you're looking for a book that walks your students through the entire process of creating a research paper and gives them many examples of each step, you can't do better than Writing an A+ Research Paper. This is a student classroom edition. Teacher's editions are available from the publisher but are only sold to teachers and schools.
