Planning your Projects

Research projects, like baseball heists, require planning. When outlining your research paper & final essay, consider:

  • What types of sources will you use?
  • What kinds of information will you need to collect?
  • Is this type of information accessible within your time frame?
  • What unexpected issues might you encounter and how will you overcome these obstacles?
