The "Plan" section of the College Research project was due today.  This is simply the rough draft of the student's Power Point presentation.  We will start presentations "officially" on May 20th, although I have a few students that are ready to start.  I will allow students to present on a voluntary basis on May 12th - volunteers are always given a little bit of leniency.  May 12th is also the date of the next Typing test, if you want to bring your grade up....practice, practice, practice!  I've seen students go from a 68% to a 92% in one week of practice at home :)
