COMPOSE a SOLID draft of Project Two.

Drafts are expected to be rough, but within one major revision left to get to a final draft. Demonstrate your understanding of the assignment along with your understanding of what a draft does/looks like. 

Organization of a paper like this will not look like a traditional paper--thesis statement; thesis at the end of the intro. Instead, determine what your audience needs to know and the best way to present that information to them. Small scale AND large scale organization need to be logical, however. Don't jumble ideas.

Grades for drafts will be determined by a number of factors, including:

• how well you've addressed the prompt;
• how developed your ideas are (they should need SOME revision, but not need to start from scratch);
• how well you're presenting information (educating your audience) from a neutral position;
• how well you've constructed and supported your claims;
• how well you've included outside sources and their correct citations (drafts missing citations in-text or works cited will not pass);
• how you've indicated "so what?"--in other words, "prove" this is a problem
• other indicators that show your understanding of a college-level writing.

A major portion of the final grade will be based on the revisions you make between this draft and the final (taking into account my comments). Other portions of the final grade will be based on some of the same factors as listed above. If you submit the same draft as the final copy you can expect to earn a grade no higher than the draft grade (and likely it will be a lower grade without any changes).

After you've submitted your draft, you should check your VeriCite report. If the number is over 10%, look at the report generated with your submission for clues as to why it matches other sources so closely. If you have a very low number, you might not have any quotes (but need them?). Ask yourself why this is. You can use VeriCite scores and comments to help with revision.
