This is an assignment that Kristine sent to me, I think there are some good ideas here.

I couldn't figure out how to attach it as documents, so I pasted it here.

 
Jewelry 1
Project 1: Research Project and Presentation

Guidelines for written report:
! Paper needs to be three (3) pages long, plus and title page and a bibliography page (total 5 pages)
$           If pictures or illustrations are included, they do not count as part of the three pages. It would be better to include them in the oral report visuals.
                       
! Paper must be typed in the following format: 
$           12 pt. font, Times New Roman
$           .75 margins
$           double-spaced
                       
! There must be a minimum of three (3) references, properly annotated on your bibliography page
$           One reference must be from an actual book
$           One reference may be from an online source, but not Wikipedia
$           The third reference may come from a book, a periodical, or an online reference other than Wiki.
                       
! Oral Report will be 2 minutes long.  Oral Report will be taken from the written report.  
                        Half (½) of the research grade will come from the oral presentation. 
! A power-point presentation or other visual aides should be used as part of the Oral Report.

! We will spend two days in the writing lab and library gathering information and working on the reports.  Any additional time needed to complete the assignment beyond that will be up to you.
