For each paper, you will meet with me for 15 minutes to look at your rough draft together. Your rough draft will be due at the time your conference begins. In order to receive full credit on a rough draft, you must come to your conference on time and have a complete rough draft in your Google writing folder for this course.
For regular essays, rough drafts must be complete drafts, so be sure that your rough draft is 1000+ words and has a finished beginning, middle, and end. All of your paragraphs should be written and complete: TWO for the beginning, at least THREE in the middle, and at least ONE at the end. No short paragraphs--all must have developed content. Failure to have a complete draft will result in a "late" assignment, but if your draft is truly complete, you don't need to worry about how "good" it is. It is a rough draft; however, "rough" does not mean "partial"--it just means "first attempt." You can create your document for a paper by opening "1101.Paper.Template" in our Shared Course Documents folder. Once it is open, "make a copy" of it by selecting this option in the File menu. Rename the new copy and place it in your writing folder. You will type your rough draft in this new document. Your draft must be finished by the time of your scheduled rough draft conference.
For Paper 1, use this filename: LastName.FirstName.Paper.1.F19
For Paper 2, use this filename: LastName.FirstName.Paper.2.F19
The annotated bibliography (Paper 3) is different. For practical reasons, we will not do conferences for the AB, and the rough draft for that paper will actually be ONE of your three or four required commentaries you write about one of the articles or book chapters you selected when researching. For the AB rough draft, you need to have your AB Introduction and ONE of commentaries finished; the commentary should be labeled, start with a properly formatted citation for the source, and contain two equal-length paragraphs that TOTAL 200-300 words. The introduction, like your AB Topic, should have three equal-length paragraphs that total 200-300 words. The content of your introduction will be the same as your AB Topic, except for the third part. In the third part, instead of describing what you hope to find, you will describe what you DID find (so far).
For the AB paper, use this filename: LastName.FirstName.AB.F19
