Research Paper Final Draft

Due TUESDAY, 11/15/18, by 10:25 am.  Printing will commence at that time, and no changes will be accepted!

• If you were absent last class, check your mail for someone else's paper.  You'll need to use the rubric to score your classmate, but you must also include written comments on the paper.
  • Your job is NOT to fix the problems for the author, but to point out where issues occur.
    
  • Use the MLA guides in your mailbox to check their MLA alignment and give them comments.
  • Look for Logos, Pathos, Ethos, and give comments on the bottom of their rubrics about this.
  • Be honest but fair; be honest but not overly nice.
  • When done, conference with the author to explain the comments.
  • Your comments and editing are a grade, so make sure to do your best for your classmate.
  • Read the remainder of this post for your subsequent tasks.
• If you were present last class and received comments, use those to edit your paper into final form.
• The rough draft was worth 50% of the possible points of the final draft.  So, if the final draft is worth 300 possible points, then the rough draft was worth 150 possible points.  It is too late to update your rough draft, so make sure to really knock out your final draft in your best form.
• Use the rubric to guide your final draft, check your MLA formatting (easy points!) by using the handouts or the links in the previous post.
• Submit BOTH the printed out, reviewed version your rough draft and the classmate's rubric on Tuesday.  Failure to do so will earn a 50% reduction in your rough draft, and a ZERO for the classmate who reviewed you!
• You may put in your headphones but make sure to keep the volume down.
• Computers plugged in by 2:28, and PUT CHAIRS UP.
