Reviews
The District competency: Students will "write three reviews of magazine/newspaper articles relevant to the study of language."
The reviews need to accomplish three things:
1. Summarize the article. Give the important information about the topic and explain the author's position on the topic.
2. Review the article. Respond to the information from your experience, other research and other writings you have read this session.
3. Discuss the relevance of the author's findings or message in relation to the study of language, the linguistic field or your research topic.

Annotated Bibliography
District competency: Students will "read a minimum of five professional sources on a linguistic topic and write an annotated bibliography critically analyzing the theoretical basis, nature of evidence, and credibility of the findings of each article."
The annotated bibliography could begin with the three articles from the reviews. You will need at least another two (more are suggested but not required) for the bibliography that are thoroughly explored and related to the other readings/research you have completed this session.

Research paper/oral presentation
District competency: Students will "write a formal research report of at least 1000 words analyzing and interpreting data from primary and/or secondary sources."
The research paper/oral presentation is the real interesting part of the session. This is where you get the chance to REALLY study langauge. There is a list of possible topics on another link from this page that you may choose from, and there is another link for information about the oral presentation.
The research paper should be:
1. typed/word processed, error-free
2. at last 1000 words
3. include at least four sources (the same as the bibliography and reviews or not)
4. include a work cited page in proper MLA format.
