Things to remember:
A paragraph is three or more complete sentences.
Spell check!! Red underline means you misspelled a word, or the computer
dictionary does not recognize it (such as a name). Green underline means there
is something grammatically wrong or you may just have an extra space.
Copying and pasting, or copying information word for word out of a
book/magazine, is considered plagiarism. This is a serious matter!! Please do
not take credit for someone else’s work.
When searching online for information you must consider the site source. Sites
like wikipedia allow anybody to publish information on a topic. It may not be
correct! Try to stick to reputable sites.
You will receive a double grade on this project! One grade from Mr. Murray and
one grade from Mrs. Gibala.
DO YOUR BEST!
