Take This Week To Complete A Full Draft That You Will Submit To a Proo

Take this week to complete a full draft that you will submit to a proofreading service for review. Your draft should adhere to the concerns expressed in the Final Essay Rubric. As you know, you should be writing according to MLA formatting. You should have enough sources to adequately support your claims in a way that it doesn't seem like you're doing a research report on one person or group's ideas. (A good rule of thumb is to introduce one new source in every argumentative paragraph, but this may not be true for certain essay types or topics. If you have concerns or questions, email me to schedule a conference.) Sources should be given due credit using both in-text and Works Cited entry citations. Do your best work on this draft so you'll have less revision and editing next week. You made it! We're finally here! For this final submission, you will submit your final edited, revised draft of your 3- to 5-page research paper that showcases your abilities as an academic writer. Be sure to look at the rubric one last time before submitting.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires completing a comprehensive draft of a 3- to 5-page research paper, adhering to MLA formatting guidelines. The draft should actively incorporate credible sources to support arguments effectively without resembling a mere report on a single individual or group’s ideas. A recommended approach is to introduce at least one new source per argumentative paragraph, ensuring a well-supported and cohesive essay. Proper citation practices are essential, including in-text citations and a corresponding Works Cited page, to give credits to all sources used.

The drafting process should be thorough, emphasizing clarity, coherence, and academic rigor to minimize subsequent revisions. This draft is intended for submission to a proofreading service for review, which will help refine language, structure, and argumentation before final submission. As part of the process, students are encouraged to consult the rubric to meet assignment expectations fully, showcasing their academic writing skills within the designated page range. The final step involves submitting an edited, polished draft that demonstrates comprehensive understanding, critical thinking, and effective communication skills in research writing.
