The Wait Just Got Longer...

I know that some of you were anxiously awaiting the release of Cormac McCarthy's The Road (filmed in Pittsburgh last winter). Unfortunately, it seems that the project has been pushed back. I had a feeling that this was going to happen since there is no trailer, the website only has the cover of the book and no one is talking about it. 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

The Senior Research Paper has Arrived!

Seniors,
I hope everything is going well with your research paper. I am creating this post as a way for you to have a central resource for all of the information regarding the research paper. I will continue to update this post as the research process continues, so please check back.

The Best Draft You Can Write on Your Own (BDYCWOYO) is due October 27th. The paper must follow all formatting guidelines set forth by the MLA and meet all of my minimum requirements for the paper. This includes the following: At least 6 pages in length, size 12 Times New Roman font, & in-text citations. Notes and Works Cited page are not mandatory, but you may turn them in if you choose. 

If you have questions about the paper (at any point) please post them here.
