ENG 190 Module Five Project Draft Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In this assignment, you will build on what you have learned in the first modules of this course and submit your persuasive essay project draft. Creating a draft is an important part of the academic writing process as it allows your instructor to provide specific feedback on how to strengthen your argument, how to better reach your audience, and whether your sources support your argument. Creating a draft is also crucial to the academic writing process as it allows you to articulate your ideas and thoughts in an organized structure so that you can rethink your main ideas and rewrite them in a way that makes your argument more persuasive.

You will use at least one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library to support your essay.
