7th Grade Art Research Paper

If your child hasn't already told you, they will be writing a research paper on a famous artist. I am allowing only one person to report on each artist. Your child must have his or her artist chosen by Monday Feb. 23.

Handouts will be sent home with your child this week explaining how to prepare a MLA style paper. They will also be given information on how to collect material to use in their paper, along with instructions on how to outline their paper.

Because they will be expected to include three sources, outside of Internet sources,it will require some trips to the library. They will be preparing 3 drafts of their paper, with their final draft due on March 20.

Any assistance that you can provide for your child would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
