I've zipped together 12 essential documents for teaching a research unit at any level. It's taken me seven times through teaching the research paper (from grades 7-12) to really get these files down to what works. I made them from scratch and I hope they help you, too! Note: MLA has been updated in this unit to the 7th edition. The kit includes...
A. Sample Research Assignment Page
B. 15 Research Terms PowerPoint (students take notes)
C. 15 Research Terms and MLA Pretest/Test – can be either or both
D. Basic MLA Format PowerPoint (students take notes)
E. MLA Mini-Handbook
F. MLA Worksheet to Accompany Mini-Handbook
G. MLA Error Editing Worksheet
H. Taking Notes Handout
I. Note Card template to be duplicated and cut (4 per page)
J. Research Outline Template
K. Sample MLA Paper
L. Research Gallery Invitation (an option for sharing work at the end)
I've also included a two-page "Helpful Hints" document. Good luck! The hardest part is grading them all at the end! Kristi
I am thrilled with every piece of this package! I am able to utilize all but the project description piece without any changes, and I believe everyone would have to adjust for their own purpose. The powerpoints and documents are all useful all easy to use. The MLA brochure was an unexpected perk!

Oh, I'm glad! Thanks. I hope your research unit goes well. I now have a stack of 82 research papers to grade. :)

Hello,
Thank you for posting your unit. However, Powerpoint is unable to download the files. It states they may have been converted and not actual PP files. Please help.
Thanks

Oh, goodness. When I get to my classroom tomorrow morning, I will resend those to you in an email...do the rest open? And could I get your email so I can get them to you quickly? This unit has sold quite a few times without a problem, so I'm dismayed that something is not working for you.

This is my fourth year as a teacher, and I am currently teaching junior high English. I enjoy aligning the curriculum I teach with state standards as well as designing it to be visually appealing to students. I hope you can enjoy a few of the things I've created!
