Welcome to Week Seven!

This week your research process will culminate with the writing of your research essay. Although the last two weeks have created a strong foundation, these parts of the process will be time consuming -- plan accordingly!

Learning Goals:

Define research argument, main points, and alternative perspective
Evaluate a peer's essay, using the experience to practice evaluating your own essay
Finalize your essay through the revision process

Week Seven Assignments:

Part One: Defining Your Argument

Post a quick overview (bullet points are okay) of your research argument, three or more main points you will be making, and the alternative perspective you will be including.

Part Two: Draft Workshop

Post a nearly completed draft of your essay and answers to the "Self-Assessment" questions. Using the questions provided, review a peer's essay draft. Provide detailed feedback.
