Research Paper 
​(sample page for my students' use)

My Experience  

During the research paper unit I learned how to conduct online research using databases, how to write a scholarly paper using MLA format, how to use all features of NoodleTools, and what resources colleges make available to students to help them succeed. I will be sure to take advantage of the general and subject librarians, online databases, and other lending services at my college's library. I am very pleased to have studied this unit as a high school senior because I now feel prepared for college level research.

9) I understand what is expected on a college level paper and how often research papers are written for any college major.
