Welcome to Heming-beck-i-pedia (I know. I have too much free time on my hands.), the home of your final 10th Grade Honors English writing project. So far, you've had an audience of your peers and an audience of me. Here's your web-ortunity to reach a world wide audience. Who knows, maybe someday, some unsuspecting 10th grader will cite your work in a research piece of her own. Fortunately, your article will have been well-researched and vetted by me and a panel of your peers (a group of judges that could make Simon Cowell uneasy), so she will have no problem when her teacher checks her Works Cited page and finds YOU listed there.

=ASSIGNMENT=

A well-researched, well-written article on one specific aspect of your author's work, process, life, or time period. The piece should be approximately 500 words (one page) in length -SO THINK "FOCUS!" - and cite at least FOUR different sources: your primary source (one of the 2 books you read as part of your author study), a print source (one of the reference or non-fiction titles Mrs. Burdick introduced last week), an internet database source (also introduced by Mrs. Burdick), and another source of your choosing.

The writing will be graded with a variation on rubric we just used for the Compare/Contrast essay. You can download the rubric by clicking on the link below.
