Lesson 11

Research Paper Draft Two

This week you’ll continue working on your research paper. Last week you put some basic thoughts down to help develop ideas. This week you should see the general shape start to develop and the paragraphs become more clearly defined. You should also begin inserting your citations and developing your Works Cited page.

Draft Two Checklist:

  • 3-5 pages of writing plus works cited page
  • 3-5 sources
  • Some grammatical and punctuation errors are acceptable, unorganized paragraphs are OK, some formatting problems are acceptable

Informal Writing: Extended Annotated Bibliography

Please also add five sources to your annotated bibliography and submit your lengthened annotated bibliography as informal writing 8. Remember, the entries on your annotated bibliography shouldn’t include the writings of your chosen author. So, if you’re writing about Shakespeare, don’t include “Hamlet” and “King Lear” for this assignment. You may cite them in the final research paper, but don’t include them in this annotated bibliography.

  Lesson Eleven Submission Checklist:

  1. The second draft of your research paper.
  2. Your lengthened Annotated Bibliography. (Informal Writing #8)
  3. Discussion 8 (remember to also paste your discussion post into Word and submit to the assignments tab in Canvas).
