Research Stages

• Research Topic and Questions
• Research Proposal 
• Research Outline (Tentative thesis + topic sentences + possible evidence)

• Reader Feedback for First Draft (2 people needed)
• Second Draft (revision of Draft 1)
• Writing Center Feedback and/or Reader feedback (1 person needed)
• Third Draft (revision of Draft 2)

All these stages must be completed and documented to have your Third Draft evaluated. Please turn in the proposal, outline, 3 drafts, 3 feedback, and checklist together for evaluation by Thursday, December 5 in class. The Third Draft must be about 7 double spaced pages, or 1,800 words including the Works Cited page and use 3-5 (or more) sources to prove a thesis of your choice about the Net and/or Web. Use Modern Language Association style to document your sources. You may use images to illustrate your ideas, but make sure you explain and acknowledge the images properly.

Revisions and Grading:

• Students who turn in the proposal, outline, 3 drafts, 3 feedback, and checklist on Thursday, December 5 in class will have a chance to revise it ONCE for a new grade. 
• Students who wish to revise their last draft more than once after I have evaluated it should turn in the proposal, outline, 3 drafts, 3 feedback, and checklist BEFORE Thursday, December 5.  
• Students who turn in the proposal, outline, 3 drafts, 3 feedback, and checklist on or after Tuesday, December 10 will not be able to revise the last draft.
