Dear class,

Let’s talk about Draft #2.

1. You create Draft #2 by improving the content and formatting of Draft #1. This may take more than one try. Drafting is something you do to make the paper better; this rewriting is, in fact, the writing.

2. Read any comments and edits I may have made on Draft #1. If you agree with them, make any necessary changes.

3. When you hand in Draft #2, make sure you show that errors were highlighted and that corrections followed in [brackets.] See sample draft on Coursespaces.

4. Are your running heads in Times New Roman 12 pt.? Make sure they are and that page numbers are formatted properly. All fonts in the draft, and in 225 coursework, are TNR 12 pt. No boldface font. See sample research paper.

5. Is the title page correct? Is the Abstract? Are there Keywords? Is everything in your paper formatted properly using the sample paper as a guide? Keywords must be in the Abstract and in the text of the paper.

6. Make sure you have at least one peer reviewed academic source in the references and that you have used it in the paper—this will be an article from an academic journal, not a book, not a textbook, not an important book, not a news story—journal article only.

7. Note my email from May 15 on the important second paragraph of your paper (see the sample research paper.) This is a short literature review where you summarize your primary source and tell the reader how you are going to use it in the paper.

8. Use the sample paper as your guide. Notice its formatting.

9. DO NOT USE A CITATION ENGINE They are not accurate in APA. Just apply the reference examples on OWL or on Coursespaces. Notice the details.

10. Check your references carefully. They must be in alphabetical order based on author’s last name. E.g., it’s Hume, S., not Stephen, H.

11. Make sure all author and title spellings are correct in the text and in the references.

12. It’s only a 1000-word paper. You can do this. Draft #2 will be close to handing in and compared with Draft #1, it should be much improved.

13. Drafts can be messy. For example, check out Orwell’s first draft for 1984: https://www.thefictiondesk.com/blog/george-orwell-manuscript-for-1984/

14. Your title page for Draft #2 will have the due date on the title page.
