  • The first draft is due Thursday, February 4, 2010.
      
  • The second draft is due on Thursday, February 11, 2009
  •  

The second draft should be wordprocessed (double spaced).  The first draft should be turnred in with the second draft so that I can see changes you have made. 

The second draft will be the final draft of this essay. It will be graded with a focus on content and organization of ideas; however, if the paper has excessive grammar and/or spelling errors, you will be asked to complete a correction sheet for the essay (due two weeks after the graded essay is returned to you).
