The goal of this exercise is to produce a revised formal draft of your third essay. To produce your formal draft, you will extensively revise and develop your zero draft using ideas from class and suggestions provided in my feedback.
Estimated time: 2-3 hours
Due by 11:59 p.m. Thursday, May 3rd
Assignment
- Read the guidelines for the Scholarly Research Essay, the model scholarly lens essay, and the guidelines for naming and formatting essay drafts.
- Revise your zero draft into a polished formal draft of 4-5 pages. As we practiced in class today, you should analyze your central question(s) closely to determine what type of theoretical sources you must introduce and use in your essay. Try to use one of the paths of analysis discussed in class on Thursday. End your draft with your tentative thesis.
- Include a Works Cited list on a separate page using MLA style. Refer to the course textbook for help with this.
- Instead of a self-evaluation, write the PAS outline for your essay on a separate page. (Review the Effective Paragraphing handout.)
- Name your Word document as explained in the course syllabus and then submit it to: https://www.dropbox.com/request/STPTJj10qgsyoeOl6vPK
