How to Write a Research Paper and Transitions

I've uploaded "how to write a research paper" and per your requests, English transitions (however, consequently, etc.) that will improve your papers and your writing. Try to use new words but make sure you use them correctly.

2IBA - First work with DBQ (document-based questions) - Due MONDAY 27/9

Using FRENCH REVOLUTION READER II, complete the questions for:

Trial of King
Execution of King

A few updates...

2IBA and 3IBA reminder: Computers are banned from the classroom UNLESS they're being used to follow along with the PowerPoints or for review. No exceptions.

2IBA - You'll really be "playing" with the material this week and I'll meet with each of you individually to talk about your papers. When you go through the work review, focus on analysis rather than throwing up facts.

3IBA - Tomorrow we'll work on hammering out HI topics. I apologize if I haven't given you enough time to analyse the material, but time is short and I'm trying to get in as much as possible. Do the reading...Czechoslovakia, 1948-1989.

What is plagiarism? In Norwegian!

Next week...

2IBA - This week, will finish with the French Revolution and move into the Age of Napoleon, with review through a Socratic seminar.

3IBA - Extended essays are due September 20. We're moving past the Cold War into the Brezhnev era.

• Brezhnev: domestic and foreign policies
• Case study of one Sovietized/satellite state: establishment of Soviet control; the nature of the singleparty state; domestic policies; opposition and dissent (Czechoslovakia)
• Transformation of Soviet Union: political developments and change (1982‑2000)
