Please review the Features of the Form of an analytical essay, on page 264, and the requirements for completing the Inquiry Project: Writing an Analytical Essay, on page 280.
By the end of this week, or before 8 a.m. (CT) on Monday, you will submit your draft to the group Discussion Board so that others can provide you with feedback and help you make your essay stronger.
Content
This first draft should be at least 600 words long. Try to meet the requirements for the final draft as best as you can and submit an essay that you feel is as close to finished as possible so that the feedback you receive is more likely to be useful. However, do not be overly concerned with issues related to proofreading and editing at this point; you will have the opportunity to address these when you revise.
For additional assignment details, go to the “Major Assignments” folder and select “Analytical Essay Outline” to view and/or print the assignment summary.
Grading
Your first draft will not be graded separately, but it will affect the grade you receive for your final draft. Ten percent (10%) of the grade for your final draft will be based on what you submitted as your first draft. As long as you submit a reasonably serious attempt at a first draft that is close to 600 words long, you will receive all the points for that 10% of the rubric
Late Drafts: If your draft is submitted late, but before 8 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday of Week Five, you will receive a portion of the points available in the rubric. That portion will be even smaller, however, if what you submit fails to meet the minimum word count required by a significant amount.
Final Deadline: No drafts will be accepted after 8 a.m. (CT) on the Wednesday of Week Five. Failure to submit a reasonably serious attempt at a first draft that is close to 600 words long by 8 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday of Week Five will result in zero points awarded for that 10% of the rubric for the final draft.
