Class

1. I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL 

2. I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH OUTLINE 

3. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR FIRST DRAFT

Your goal for today is to find two people to give you Reader Feedback for First Draft (2 separate reports). These two people can be classmates or family/friends.

CHOOSE YOUR READERS JUDICIOUSLY--doing so is part of being a good writer.
After reading the Feedback, begin your Second Draft of the Research Paper.
