RESEARCH IS DUE FRIDAY!
Introduction/Conclusion.
Reuse the applicable parts of your topic stuff.
Conclusion should be about 1/2 page.

Paper Layout.
Introduction and conclusion count toward your 5 pages. Title page, works cited, pictures, and table of contents do not.
DO NOT USE A COVER!

Citations.
You must give credit for your info. Any facts that didn't come from your own head must be cited.
If the whole paragraph came from one source, you may wait until the end of the paragraph to cite the source.
I should see at least one citation from each source listed on the works cited page.
Example
Also look on your Pink Research Handout.

Time? "The Earth Men"

"Sometimes I ain't so sho who's got him a right to say a man is crazy and when he ain't. Sometimes I think there ain't none of us pure crazy and ain't none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it ain't so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it."
                                       ---  from As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner

What does he mean?

"The Earth Men" from The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

Think of a time from history when there was a clash of two very different cultures. What usually happens?
If someone unusual-looking came to your door claiming to be from another planet, what would you do? What would you need as proof?
