Please do not procrastinate on this! You will be having a test on Friday, April 16th as well. Prior planning prevents poor performance!!!

Here's a link to the [|KIS High School Library], which I'm sure will be a very valuable resource for you as you conduct your research! To clear up confusion, here is a sample of what I am expecting for the outline: 1. Research Question 2. [|Outline Example (be sure to write thesis statement for 1st part)] When finished, consult [|this checklist] to be sure your thoughts are clear.
 * Announcement - Friday, April 2nd**

The "working bibliography" should look like your final bibliography. Be sure it includes all the required sources and follows Chicago style. You may add and take away sources before the final draft, but this should not change much between now and then.

Because I was late in getting these expectations to you, you may have until Tuesday, April 6th to complete this portion of the assignment. Be sure that you follow these expectations!!!

The following link will be of great help in helping you figure how to document properly using [|Chicago Style]
 * Announcement - Friday, April 9th **

If you would like to see a sample paper using Chicago Style, look at the following example:
