Writing Your Research Paper

***Your paper should be on the blending of social studies and language arts. You should include suggested strategies and/or activities for teaching literacy skills using social studies content as well as ideas for including children’s literature in the teaching of social studies.
While you may conclude your paper with a paragraph stating your opinion regarding the topic, this is not an opinion paper. The majority of the paper should be a report of what the research says. Be sure to credit the proper source when citing or quoting directly. You should paraphrase when possible. The “Turnitin” feature will be activated, so please be cautious when it comes to plagiarism.
