One of the most important components of the completion project is the 
research paper. This activity demonstrates a student's ability to research a 
topic, read and understand sophisticated material, synthesize information, 
write on an adult level, and use a format to properly document sources.

LENGTH:
     The required length of 750 -- 1250 words of text can be adapted to suit 
any type of project. For example, a student that has labored for several 
months to restore an antique car may be comfortable with a paper of minimal 
length; the student that has performed community service may want to expand 
on his project by writing the maximum amount (around 1200 words).

SOURCES:
     A minimum of three sources, including two different types, is necessary 
to meet the bare basics of this paper. Advisors will encourage their 
students to use as many sources as are needed for a quality product. We 
remind you that use of general encyclopedias is not acceptable at this level.

FORMAT:
     All papers must follow MLA format for internal citation, Works Cited 
page, and Outline page. Consult the current MLA Handbook or use the MLA link 
included on this web page under LINKS.

MORE INFORMATION:
     More information about the research paper, as well as other pertinent 
details about the completion project, can be found in the Completion Project 
Handbook that you received at the beginning of the year. A copy of the 
handbook is online; the address is on the Dallas School District website and 
on the LINKS page under Completion Project Updates.
