Persuasive Rough Draft

Students finished organizing their research into an outline or graphic organizer, and then they continued writing their rough draft. These are my expectations of the rough draft:

1. Write an introduction, supporting, and concluding paragraphs.
2. Include the research in your supporting paragraphs. If you write a statistic, write the resource in parentheses.
3. If you write a three or four-word phrase and as much as a complete sentence from the research, use quotation marks and write the resource in parentheses.
***A resource is the author's last name and page number, if available. If there is not an author or page, write the title in parentheses.
4. On a separate paper, write the works cited page.
