This Track, “Constructing a Research paper using Keyboarding, addresses the stated
learning gap of keyboarding students not being familiar with the parts, process and
method of keying a research paper. The lesson, "The Research Paper-Searching for a
Subject", was chosen because it offers an opportunity for the student to search the web for
potential subjects, understand the preliminary steps to planning and writing a research
paper and the use of the keyboard to format, edit and key the final copy of the research
paper. The 9th grade keyboarding standard states that the student will key business
documents; Compose, key and format information using a keyboard; Proofread
documents for accuracy, content, and for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation;
Make changes using revision on tracking mode. I chose this unit because it allows my
students an opportunity to use the Internet, practice proofreading and formatting skills and
improve keyboarding accuracy. Learning expectations addressed in this Track are: (1)
Students will research a web site to look for possible subjects for their research paper. (2)
The students will use the Internet to develop a process for writing the introduction to the
paper. (3) The students will gather information to be contained in their research paper. (4)
The student will complete the research paper by taking all notes and information that they
have analyzed and produce the final draft of their paper.
