Final Published History Term Project
Posted on May 1st, 2009 No commentsFor the final history term project, use the 3 previously researched, planned, drafts with revisions and edits and then finally typed essays. Avoid adding line returns except at the end of paragraphs, titles, and subtitles. You also are expected and required to show this final project to your seventh-grade History teacher at the start of the school year.
Format before printing into 1 inch margins, 12 point regular font (e.g. times new roman, or geneva), set for double-space. A perfectly great word-processing tool to use is TextEdit, which automatically saves as an RTF (Rich Text Format), which can be opened by any word processor. If you choose to use AppleWorks, then do a SaveAs and change to RTF. [Mister Roach cannot open any Apple Works documents, since I do not have the software on any of my computers.]
Cut and paste the 3 essays into a single word processing file. The Table of Contents must have a page-break entered so that the INTRODUCTION will start on the second page. On the Table of Contents page, please put your first and last names, publication date, and Title of the Project. Use automatic page numbers or add them at the very end before printing.
Verify that you have written in active voice, with at least one short sentence, one complex sentence, and one compound sentence in each paragraph. Support each topic sentence with appropriate details (refer to the E’s chart).
