All students at Edison High are supposed to complete a research paper for every year of English. This is the research paper for the CIBACS Junior year. The paper prepares students for the larger presentation at the end of the year because they must begin to pay attention to the processes they are learning on the job. The paper prompts students to explain “how to” do some task related to the work they have been observing and practicing. Students can find information about the process by conducting interview with experts at the job site, researching on the Internet, or going to the library. The task should be explained in very precise language and backed up with research. The clear organization of information is also essential.
