First, the Revision of Paper Two is due. Please be sure to include the original marked-up copy of your first draft with the revised paper!
Second, the Introduction to your Research Paper is due. Please include the first two roughly-drafted pages.
Third, the general Outline of your Research Paper is due. See the examples below and use them as models for your individual outlines. Remember that I am asking that you produce at least a half-page, detailed outline. See the generic outline I have produced that follows. Note that items in parenthesis are optional. As another example, see the outline that appears on pages 13-14 in Hacker's Writer's Reference; it has been scanned and provided below for your convenience.
Fourth, you need to bring two extra copies of your outline and introduction to class, so that we can perform a peer-edit of your work.
