*This is a rough draft. I don’t expect this to be completely finished (as in, ready to turn in quality). I do expect that there will be some mistakes and a need for edits. That is okay. However, the other expectation is that you are putting your thoughts together in a cohesive way to submit a final draft by the next module.*
