English 2 is a continuation of English 1. You will use advanced research skills to write papers from across the curriculum. Research papers will be informative and persuasive in nature and will be based on topics from academic disciplines (social sciences, literature and the humanities, or science and mathematics). You will conduct research using primary and secondary library resources, surveys and questionnaires, observation, and interviews. The research you do in this class should feel relevant, exciting, and personal to you and your own identity and interests, and I am here to support you in the topic selection process. You will use MLA/APA/Chicago Style format to document your sources. One goal for this class is to prepare 25-35 pages of polished writing by the end of the semester.

We will use Wikipedia to apply our editing, researching, citation, and critical thinking skills outside of the classroom and to relevant topics that we are passionate about.
