3. Research Paper
Time to start writing your rough draft!
Your first time through will be MESSY. Don’t feel like you have to start at the beginning and write straight through. Use your outline to figure out where you want to start.
You have two weeks to work on this rough draft. We expect you to have at least 6 pages (double spaced) of rough draft material by then.
As you write, don’t forget to make note of where you are pulling your information so that you’ll be able to cite your sources later.
