Four your final essay, due finals week via email only, you are required to do an extensive re-write of essay 1. You will be expected to incorporate at least two more outside sources than your original ones and to make revisions to every single paragraph in the essay. Add in detail where it is lacking, correct grammar, strengthen your arguments, and re-work organization. You are required to re-write your thesis, making it clearer and stronger, unless I wrote that it was perfect on your first draft. If you would like to significantly alter your thesis and paper (shifting topics, for example), this is fine too, although it is not required.
Your re-write should be 1-2 pages longer than your initial draft as well, bringing your final page count to 6-7 pages (or longer).
Please utilize the notes I have made you for essay 1, on both your rough and final drafts. You can also visit me during office hours to discuss your work, should you need additional input.
Your paper will be reviewed alongside your initial paper, and if the changes made are not substantial, you will not receive a passing score. Should you have already gotten a high score on your paper initially, I recommend expanding your thesis and lengthening your paper, as well as adding in more research.
Due: noon on friday 5/8, email only, .doc or .docx format only
