English II Honors Independent Project

I described a former student's work for you.  To see her actual work, and to see an acceptable sample of student work, please click: http://bit.ly/1R2RQ2Y .

For scoring criteria and formatting guidelines: http://bit.ly/1KE7ayN .

For another example of the I-search paper: http://bit.ly/1iO7MLn .

Please remember to submit your work via One Drive or Google Docs.  If you are experiencing student email woes, we will see about getting your email re-activated. As always, I am happy to help, and look forward to your discoveries.

Bonus Point and Scholarship Opportunities

Some of you have expressed an interest in bonus point opportunities; I am happy for you to take advantage of scholarship opportunities as well.  Here are several opportunities:

1)  The Lewis County Conservation District--visit http://conservation.ky.gov, and www.kyfb.com/federation

2) The VFW sponsors scholarships.  Winners of this contest present their work in our Veterans Day Ceremony at the LCHS Auditorium.  Get an entry form from this site: https://www.vfw.org/VOD/ .

3) The information for the 2016 Profiles in Courage Essay Contest is available at www.jfklibrary.org/essaycontest.

I am happy to offer suggestions for any of these competitions.  Should you win, you are eligible for  15 BONUS points, 25 if you win.  Those spend well.
