I have included for you below links to some documents that will hopefully help you in the planning, research, and writing of your research papers.   I expect you will have many over the course of your high school career.  Some may be short, and others long.  But everything I have provided can help you in one way or anther, with one element of your research or another.  So just read over what I have provided and use what you need. Keep in mind as you use the documents below that any specifics YOUR TEACHER gives you that may contradict what these documents say trump what I have provided here.  So if you find yourself thinking, "The teacher said to do it this way", then do it that way.  The teacher is the one grading you.  Keep that in mind.
