Seniors: Editing to Create a Final Draft

Seniors,
Even though I'm a few states away, take today as a golden opportunity to finish up your research paper! They are each graded and it is now time for you to fix the problems I have identified. Follow the instructions below.
  1. Log in to your CCS account and access your Drive. (CCS Email link above)
  2. Open up your first draft. You will be fixing everything in this document.
  3. PLEASE LEAVE THE HIGHLIGHTING AND COMMENTS. I will remove each when the corrections have been made.
  4. To get help correcting various errors, check out these stick-figure videos. They are thorough AND entertaining!
    1. For more grammar help (lots of pink highlights), check this out.
    2. For more paper style help (lots of green highlights), check this out.
    3. For more word choice and phrasing (lots of blue highlights), check this out.
    4. For lots of comments about run ons and fragments or other more complicated punctuation matters, check this out.
    5. For lots of comments on analysis or your lack of SOMEthing in the paper, check this out.
  5. Remember that your Works Cited page AND in-text citations MUST BE PRESENT in the final draft of the paper or it will automatically receive a zero for "plagiarism" according to South View's policy. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
