Step 3: Rough draft with bibliography
Deadline-Monday, May 3, 2010
You may want to consider writing an OUTLINE as your prewriting. This will
make for an easier transition to paragraphs.
Go ahead and write your bibliography from the sources you noted on your note
cards. Check the list below to make sure you have cited them correctly.
Bibliography-a list of the sources you used to get information for your report.
--This is easier to do if you have kept track of the sources on the note cards.
--List in alphabetical order by authors last names.
--Sources without authors should be listed alphabetically by title.
Step 4: Edit/Revise
Deadline-May 5, 2010

incomplete/run-on sentences.

Deadline-May 7, 2010
This is where you may TYPE. Your final copy (typed if you wish) should be
