<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have the privilege of doing something this semester that I only get to do every once in a while–teach a private or small group of students who have taken many classes with us before how to write a BIG research paper. Most students who start out with us in elementary school of taking CQLA (Character Quality Language Arts)<\/em> classes follow a protocol similar to this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) CQLA A and B for first four years or so (depending on when they begin)<\/p>\n 2) CQLA C for two years<\/p>\n 3) MC 10 I: High School Essays<\/p>\n 4) MC 10 II: Four Research Reports<\/p>\n 5) Speech and debate<\/p>\n 6) Literature with Joshua (formerly)<\/p>\n 7) CLEP English with Joshua (formerly)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is a one-semester (16 weeks or so) undertaking that is not for the faint of heart. It sounds daunting, but the students who sign up for this special arrangement have already learned all of the pieces incrementally with me in the previous years–many years. And I spread the project out for them weekly over the entire semester, so it truly comes in bite-sized chunks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I thought I would share our first meeting via video with you (and the chapter that goes with this video<\/a>–warning: it’s long if you’re downloading\/printing!) so that you can see how to approach such a big project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nEvery once in a while we get a student who wants the challenge of going beyond MC 10 II’s research reports and doing the BIG ONE!<\/h3>\n
