Introduction: In task 3 you created a writing plan. The next step in the writing process is to draft your research paper. Writers often go through several drafts in the writing process before arriving at a final product. Once you have a complete first draft of your research paper, it is time to start the revision process. In this task you will submit the following items:
Revised Draft (task instruction A below): This draft has marked changes. Use revision features in your word processor (e.g., track changes, comment boxes, highlighting, boldfacing what you have edited and revised). You could also scan a hard copy that reflects handmade revisions. In this draft you will correct word, sentence, paragraph, essay, or APA issues present in your rough draft. The revised draft should clearly show the changes that you write about in the revision summary. Title this document “Revisions.” Revision Summary (task instruction A1 below): Provide a summary explaining what you changed and why. Also discuss what 3–5 revision strategies or resources you used (e.g., working with a course mentor, attending chats, using OWL, using MindEdge resources, conducting peer reviews) to make content and format changes. Aim for 1/2–1 page for this part. Title this document “Revision Summary.”
Make sure you clearly label each document as well as provide the date in your submission. Please note an abstract is not required.

Task: A. Document the revisions you made on the completed rough draft of your research paper. (Please name this file with the date of submission and title it “Revisions” when you submit it in TaskStream.) Note: You must clearly mark the revisions to your draft. You may do this several different ways, including using strikethrough, bold, italics, and/or highlighting; tracking changes in a word processing document; or scanning a hard copy. 1.
