This year, the English 10 research paper is a combination of an informative and a persuasive essay. Students are to choose a charity, tell the reader about the charity, and then persuade the reader to donate to or volunteer his or her time towards the charity's purpose. This is a large portion of the 3rd and 4th quarter grades, so students need to take this seriously! There is also a presentation connected to the paper which will take place in May.
