This three-draft, out-of-class essay is a thesis-driven argument that strives to meet the standards detailed in the rubric. You must use and cite at least one source. While of course you may work with many drafts, only the first draft may receive teacher input. Include ALL drafts (minimum three), one with teacher comments, one with peer and/or Writing Center comments, and a final, clean draft without comments or grade.
Be sure that the latest draft, a clean copy with no instructor comments, is placed first, followed by earlier drafts and prewriting, so that the evaluator looks from latest to earliest writing when opening that section of the portfolio
Please note that, if you have gone to the Writing Center, you must include the drafts you worked on with them, in order. This will help the evaluators to see your writing in process.
