Last week, our class turned in the final drafts of our Senior Research Paper. It was a relief when I handed my note cards, source, cards, and research paper to Mrs. Stekly. Writing the research paper took a lot of time and hard work. After working on our papers for so long, I was ready to get rid of it and everything having to do with it. Now that the final drafts are handed in, it is time for the Senior class to start working on our Senior Project product and meeting with our mentors.

Two weeks ago, I met with Mrs. Stekly twice to discuss changes that needed to be made to my research paper. She pointed out errors that I could change before I handed in my final draft. Luckily, there were not as many errors as I was expecting. However, the revisions to my research paper made it a little shorter than it needed to be. Since it was short, I had to add a few sentences to my paper before I handed it in for the final time. Just adding a few sentences was hard because I had no idea where to add those sentences in my paper. I was able to include a few into both my introduction and conclusion. Fortunately, that was enough to meet the length requirements for my research paper.
Writing the draft for my research paper has been the most difficult part of the whole Senior Project so far. Our class had to write a lot of note cards, like I posted about earlier. Then, we had to summarize, paraphrase, and write our paper with all of our different sources. Trying to find the correct thing to write and connect all of the different points together took a lot longer than I had anticipated. Now that our drafts are written, we have to start revising them. Luckily, Mrs. Stekly looks them over with us and helps us make our corrections. I feel a lot more confident in her writing skills than in mine.
