10 Bibliography (Source) Cards Due Monday

Turn in 10 index cards, one for each source, when you walk in the door on Monday. Use the cheat sheet I gave you for formatting, or check on the OWL link on this page (see below, right). Write on one side of the card only.

Next week, you will be taking notes from your sources, so you will need to buy some index cards.

SAS "Office Hours" on Tuesday After School

In college, your professors will have office hours when you can discuss questions that you have. After school tomorrow, SAS teachers will have "office hours" to discuss the Senior Project with you. The lineup is as follows:
English Teachers: Room 422 (Carmicle)For questions about MLA style or thesis statements
Math Teachers: Room 424 (Hermosillo)For how to use statistics in your research paper
History/Social Studies Teachers: Room 420 (Tobenkin)For all those current event topics such as immigration or global warming
Science Teachers: Room 421 (Cusolito)For topics that involve one of the sciences
Foreign Language/ Electives Teachers: Room 423 (Taron)For feedback in general

Ms. Taron also has expertise in nutrition. Counselors will be in various rooms.

This is not required, but it is highly recommended. Teachers are often busy and this is a chance to have their undivided attention.
