Today in class Mr.Rivers started off telling us that because we had a snow day, our proposal deadline was extended a day. He then explains that the deadlines are really the very last option to hand in the assignment and it is better to manage our time and hand in the assignment earlier if possible, to allow time for reflection and editing. The next thing we went over in class was the next step in our senior paper process. The next step is research. Mr. Rivers emphasized that research should not be conducted until your proposal is approved by him. He brought up a powerpoint showing how our research should be structured. The power point had a format for a note card. He also gave us the option of a document with a very similar structure to organize our work. I believe this will help a lot with the organization of our research.
The class continued to look at the research template for a while. After Mr. Rivers was done presenting we got back to work on our proposals. A few people had finished their proposals, including myself, so Mr. Rivers started conferencing with those who had finished. In these conferences Mr. rivers was going over your proposal with you and making sure that the paper you wanted to write was possible and what could be done with the topic you chose. After he approved your proposal you were allowed to start researching other information for your paper. I had to leave 10 minutes before class ended but this seemed like this would take up the rest of the class schedule.
