To prepare the final draft of Writing Project 2: Analysis, do the following:

  1. Following Steps 8-10 in CHAPTER 7 (for the Comparative Analysis) or CHAPTER 8 (for the Rhetorical Analysis), revise your first draft. [NOTE: Be sure to review Module 4 or email your instructor if you are unsure whether your instructor has assigned Comparative Analysis or Rhetorical Analysis. You must complete the specific assignment as assigned by your instructor. If you complete the wrong assignment, it may be returned to you ungraded.] Your revision should be based on the peer response feedback you received in the Writing Project 2 Analysis Peer Response Discussion, what you learned from the learning materials in Modules 4 and 5, the feedback you received from Tutor.com, and your own developing understanding about effective writing.
  2. Review the instructions for Writing Project 2 (found in Module 5). Compare your half draft to the description, looking for those areas requiring further development and revision for the final draft. Revise your draft to address any issues that you found.
  3. Be sure to include in-text citations (according to either MLA style or APA style) for your quotations and paraphrases of the core reading(s) and your outside source. (See MLA Style Format and Citations or APA Style Format and Citations for additional help.) Review the syllabus or email your instructor to determine if this section uses MLA or APA style! You must use the style required by your specific instructor.
  4. Format your draft document according to MLA or APA style. Use the resources in MLA Style Format and Citations or APA Style Format and Citations for help on this. Again, review the syllabus or email your instructor to determine if this section uses MLA or APA style! You must use the style required by your specific instructor.
  5. Do not forget to write a cover letter (details below).
  6. Then submit your final draft of Writing Project 2 here for instructor grading. Submit your draft as a Word document. You may also write a message to your instructor in the text box (optional).
