- Compose a first draft of your essay. While your first draft does not have to be the full 1000 words of the final draft, it should not be less than 700 words. Your first draft should include a working thesis, body paragraphs, and an outline of your conclusion. You will submit your rough draft to Canvas for peer review. During the peer review workshop period, you will be giving and receiving feedback on your essay.

Your revision plan should identify key areas for improvement and identify specific actions you will take to revise your essay. You should enter those specific actions into your calendar between the workshop and the due date.
- Revise your response essay based upon the feedback you received in the draft workshop. Make sure your essay has an original title. Submit your final draft by the due date.
