Need Writing Help
In Week 6 after you review your feedback on your outline, you will start the First Draft of your Research Paper (500 words). This should be typed in Times New Roman, 12-font, single spaced, approx.. 1 page. In this assignment, you will write your introductory paragraph and your first body paragraph with your Works Cited page. You will use last week’s outline for help. This first draft will help you practice turning an outline into a paper and shed light on any holes you will need to patch before finishing your whole paper.
