Today, most of you are in the library (some on the Chromebookies) to work on your research project. I have been working to get most of your drafts back to you. I have dropped a .pdf file in your Paper Drafts section of your OneNote notebook. I apologize if I have missed anyone, so please let me know. If it is due to my error, I'll get it remedied ASAP. If it is due to yours, time will dictate when it gets remedied. Here are some reasons why you may not have gotten back a paper:
-You did not send me a .pdf file. (Some of you sent links to a GoogleDoc.)
-You sent me a file, but its name contained neither your period number nor your name. (I have 78 juniors--there is no way I can keep your papers straight without names.)
-You never sent me a link to your OneNote notebook, as instructed. A few sent me a link but did not give me edit permission.
-I never got anything from you at the email address provided.
-You turned it in late. It takes 10-15 minutes for me to go through a paper. That averages out to almost 20 hours for me to read your papers and jot some feedback on them. If you did not turn yours in on the due date, it was on the bottom of the to-read list.
Yes, I'm still going through papers and will continue to do so over the weekend.
A Note About Section 1:
* You are supposed to discuss three external factors that can hinder a person's attainment of success. Each one of those needs at least one full paragraph devoted to explaining and exploring it. Each should contain info/data from your research.
* An illness is not really a good choice for one of these. There are many other options that are more likely to make being successful difficult. MANY of you have mentioned sickness/illness and devoted a sentence or two to it. No one has discussed the skyrocketing cost of college.
* Again, this is not a rattle off a string of opinions paper. It is a research paper. It MUST use facts/data from your research. It must cite those sources.
* You are also supposed to discuss three internal factors that affect whether or not a person is successful. Again, each of those should have at least one full paragraph devoted to its discussion.
* These six things are the FOCUS of section 1--NOT your personal philosophy of what success should mean to society or a history lesson on The American Dream. Some of you devoted three or four paragraphs to one or both of these things.
