TGIF?  It seems a little odd that Friday isn't nearly the fun it is under normal circumstances.  We are definitely living in weird times.  Thanks so much for the texts yesterday.  I feel better today; I think I just needed to have a reset.  I know y'all have to be feeling somewhat the same.  That being said, I am giving you very lax deadlines and stuff for that reason.  If you need to take a day "off" from school for your mental health, do it.  If you need to spend a day sitting outside or eating ice cream or facetiming with friends, do it.  The work will get done.  We all have to take care of ourselves the best way we know how right now.  I am trying to do that myself.  Ok, I am off my soapbox.  Now, down to work.  

A few announcements:  
1.  We will not have a Warm or Cold Read this week.  If you haven't done After Apple-Picking or Fingerprints.  Please do them immediately.  They are from the week before Spring Break and can be found on the WR,CR,Quiz,Test tab.  
2.  I need to have a ZOOM meeting for AP Monday to talk about the new information that has come out and how we need to proceed.  I am sending out a Remind message asking what time.  Please respond when you see it.
3.  We will have a ZOOM Monday for everyone to check in and talk research papers and other stuff on Monday at 11:00.  I can do a repeat later in the day if I need to, just let me know via Remind if you can't make 11 on Monday and if I need to make a second one, I can.
4.  If you are an artist of any kind-- music, visual art, dance, etc., we would love to share your work on the newspaper website.  Our staff is working to keep the site up to date so you can get some Magnet news while sequestered.  Send or share pictures, videos, etc with me at missmccalister.magnet@gmail.com and I will post them.  
5.  I am in the process of typing up the What I Haven't Seen list.  I will let y'all know when I have it posted so you can see what I haven't seen from you.  In many cases it may be that I'm not looking in the right place or something-- so we just need to figure that out.  

​Okay, today's stuff:

If you have been pacing yourself and staying on track with what I tell you to do daily, you should have a thesis statement written and a skeleton outline done.  The skeleton outline will help you stay organized when you move into writing a sentence outline and eventually the paper.  Now when you are doing a paper on your own in college, you will probably skip the sentence outline, and that's okay.  For our purposes though, that is our next step.  

Go into the Research 2020 folder and make a copy of the 2020 Outline.  All you need to do is replace MY information with YOUR information.  Each number/letter of the outline MUST be a complete sentence.  If you use a quote or paraphrase, you should put the internal citation after the sentence.  I will link some information about internal citations HERE.  Go ahead and include that in your outline.  Once this sentence outline is done- it will just be a matter of revising and fancy-ing to have your complete paper.  Spend the weekend catching up if you are behind and working on that sentence outline.  I would like it to be done by Monday night.  

As you work on your sentence outline, remember the quote requirements.  
  1. You must have at least one exact quote from each secondary source in your paper.
  2. You must have at least five exact quotes from the primary source(s) being discussed 
*  The outline was accidentally altered.  I am fixing it now.  Make sure you use the document 2020 Outline. If you copied it previously, I apologize.  Just copy the one that is called 2020 Outline.  (Everybody should know how to copy by now.  A few people are still having a little trouble, and I will get with them.)
I made a list for each period with what items I don't have.  I did not include everything that we have done.  If you don't know how to do something- check the posts on this site.  Let me know when you have done it via remind so I can go back and check it off.  I hope this helps.  Please don't worry, I am not fussing-- just trying to make sure that we are all on the same page.  Most people are missing the Thesis Statement.  That's okay, as you should still be working on that.  After looking over the list, I am pretty happy that the vast majority of people are on track.  Each period is a separate file below.

This week has been hard because I'm trying to get a lot done at once, and it's hard to keep everything organized. But now that we have exams coming up next week, I have to make sure everything is in order before then.

    Ignore the half-naked men on the front of the books.  These actually were some quick, funny reads.  And I have a point.  READ.... it doesn't matter if it an award-winning novel or a trashy romance, JUST READ.  It exercises your brain and gets you outta the house when you can't actually get outta the house.
