SEC: Research paper challenge

["Frances D. Aley" <fdaley@GWI.NET>]

    Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday!  I need to find out from as many 
folks as possible what type of research papers you have your high school students 
do ( frequency, length of paper, and brief assignment if possible)Last year I 
requested ideas for Junior research papers and got only two or three responses.  We 
have a challenge from a group of parents regarding our Junior research paper 
assignment and I'm trying to find out what other high schools are doing with regard 
to research papers.  Do you do them every year, twice a year, only in the senior 
year, or what?  I'd appreciate as many responses as possible since I'd like to 
dazzle them with numbers ;-)  Thanks and if anybody knows where I can locate any 
stats about this, I'd appreciate that as well!
