Draft Two and Three

Hello! Today in class we went over the changes made to draft two and what is expected of draft three. The due date are as follow:

*Draft 3- Due Nov. 16
*Final Copy- Due Nov. 18

Many students were struggling with their introduction, so here are some of the key points you should mention that might help you finish your intro properly.
  1. Your own thoughts
  2. Source connection
  3. Based on the two concepts that you discuss how do they relate to ALL the other aspects of revision?
  4. Relate your own experiences as a writer.
Also, when you turn in your final draft you must be able to show how you used the feedback you received in class and from the teacher to revise your work. There's a couple of ways you can do this.
  • Use different font color on the revised text.
  • Add a small paragraph explaining the revisions you made.
  • Or if you have been uploading the drafts separately this can be used to prove you've been revising.
Remember!!!
  • If you think you have enough meta-commentary then you're probably don't, there is never enough meta-commentary. However, you shouldn't just write to add length, there has to be a purpose to your writing.
  • Non-text images! There must be at least one in every draft, but more than one in draft two since it's the body of your paper. Some examples of non-text images are: graphs, charts, lists, pictures, or anything that is not in paragraph form.
Draft 3 should...
  • Highlight most of the main ideas overall.
  • Assess revision & the discussion. (Missing/underdeveloped ideas)
  • Small discoveries. (things you learned/self-reflection)
DRAFT 3 - DO NOT UPLOAD JUST BRING A HARD COPY!

Good luck!!
