Myths about Research.
Perrin, Robert
English Journal, v76 n7 p50-53 Nov 1987
Reexamines assumptions about teaching the research paper, including the following points: (1) research is suitable for all high-school students, not just college-bound seniors; (2) research is not natural, but requires much training; (3) real research does not restrict sources; (4) teachers can not teach research without doing research themselves; and (5) research papers need not be long.
