Process Paper
***The only students who need to write the process paper are students selected to compete in the county fair. There is no reason to write the process paper unless the teacher tells you to do so.***
Process Paper
Use the following four-paragraph layout for your process paper. For the most part, you will write this after you have finished the rest of your project. Process Papers are 500 words or less.
First Paragraph: Why did you choose this topic? What drew you to picking this topic? Do you have a personal connection, is it related to a hobby or interest of yours, etc.?
Second Paragraph: How did you conduct research for your topic? Where did you look for research: interviews, library, internet sources, journals? How did you and/or your partner gather, organize and decide which research would become a part of your project?
Third Paragraph: Should explain how you selected your presentation category and created your project. Once you established all the research and information you wanted in your project, how did you organize it? How did you create it?
Fourth Paragraph: How does your topic reflect “Rights and Responsibilities?” Clearly state your topic. Think about the facts and information you have gathered in your research to write this last paragraph. This is the strongest case you can make for your project. Include your thesis statement. When a person finishes reading your process paper it should be crystal clear to the reader how your topic relates to the theme.
