Use this document to provide feedback for one of your peers on their IWA.  You only need to use one peer review document.

Submit your rough draft of the IWA. We will be peer-reviewing in class on the day we return from break. To earn full points, you need at least 1400 words and your complete reference list.

Complete a preliminary outline for your IWA. You can outline in whatever way works best for you, but I should be able to tell what your argument is and what claims you have to support that argument from your outline.

Use this assignment to submit the end of course exam you complete on either Friday, March 17th or Saturday March 25th.

Use this source log to record what you have read.  You will not use all of these sources in your annotated bibliography.  This is just to keep track of things so that you can decide what to use when you are finished with the research process.  I’m not going to grade the source log, but that is how I am going to keep track of what you are reading before this assignment is due.  Add new rows to the table as necessary. You can also use slides to organize your research if you would like to.

When you decide you are going to use a source, create a full annotated bibliography. This is what I will grade.

Turn in your outline here. You can outline in whatever way works best for you, but you need to have a completed outline for class on Tuesday.

Submit your final IWA.

Use this organizer to plan and reflect on your work.

Submit your slides for the IMP before class on Wednesday.

Use this form to peer review rough drafts. Do not submit this document otherwise you and the person whose paper you review will not be able to access it.

This rough draft has to have at least 600 words to score full points.
This shortened IWA needs to have at least 1200 words.

Use one of the attached templates to log your sources.  I will eventually grade seven sources, but there is space for ten sources because you will read more sources than you use.  If you need more, make copies on your document.
Please delete the templates you are not using, so I can tell how you are tracking your sources.  In the beginning, I only need to see the main idea, the title of the source and where its from, and an evaluation of credibility.  Eventually all of the information will need to be filled out.

Upload your full IWA outline here. Make sure it is clear where a new paragraph starts. Your outline should have specific information and evidence, but it only needs to have a clear thesis, the subject of each body paragraph, and your conclusion.  The better your outline is, the easier the writing process will be.
