Draft 2 Helps & Homework

Today in class, we talked about credibility and how to make what you write more credible. Here is the PowerPoint that we used today in class. We also talked about how to format your papers and I showed you some sample essays.  While you work on your essay for the rest of the class, you can use these to help you.
  • Incorrect Essay Format - This is just here so that you don't make the mistakes you can find in this paper. Whatever you do, DON'T do this. :
  • Correct Essay Format - This paper shows a perfectly formatted paper except for the references. You will want the cover page and body of your essay to look as close to this paper as possible.
  • APA Paper Template - This is a template, which means that you can use it to start the formatting for your own paper. I would suggest downloading this, and then putting your essay into the format that is set up already for you. This has a perfect example of a Reference page.
  • Additional Essay Help - Are you still confused about how to organize your paper? This document gives you resources for organizing the paragraphs your paper (in point-by-point or block styles!), making better topic sentences, the requirements for draft 2, as well as page numbers in your book that can give additional help for all the things we've learned!
Homework:
  • Draft 2 - uploaded to turnitin.com 
  • Journal - 2 pages in Blue Book, or 1 page double-spaced typed.
