What to turn in:
I should receive one rough draft and one double-spaced final essay in the same Word document. Your name, course title/number, and the date should be in the upper left-hand corner of the document. Your final essay should come first followed by your rough draft.
The rough draft:
This draft can be as rough as you like. It is your chance to gather your thoughts, pinpoint key ideas, begin to link different parts of your essay together and formulate an overall plan for presenting your story. Read pgs. 51-59 of The Bedford Reader and pgs. 392-418 of the Harbrace Handbook to better understand this process.
The final essay should include: 1) A clear purpose or central idea. (Need review? See pgs. 98-99 of The Bedford Reader) 2) A clear narrative voice. Example: If you’re using the first person (I), stick with the first-person; if you’re telling the story in the third person (he, she), stick with the third person. (Need review? See pgs. 100-101 of The Bedford Reader) 3) Pick a verb tense that fits your essay and stick with it. Example: present tense – I laugh, he laughs or past tense – I laughed, he laughed. (Need review? See pgs. 104-105 of The Bedford Reader) 4) Good organization and flow. (Need review? See pgs. 103-104 of The Bedford Reader) 5) Effective transitions that move the story along in a logical and smooth flowing manner. (Need review? See pg. 104 of The Bedford Reader)
